Hah, I don't use this script.

Point taken, however I would argue that the location currently used as default is even less likely to be right. Doesn't the LSB say anything about this? it would make a better default. As suggested by Adam Tkac in another email, - --with-default-font-path=same locations that the vncserver script uses Seems like a saner default than using: - --with-fontdir=/usr/src/wherever.. Especially when, as far as I can tell, these options are not accessible from the convenient top-level build-xorg-* scripts as they are down in ./xorg/xorg-server-*/configure It just seems silly to require all users to stumble on something that is so trivial.
