Hey JD,
there's a little script on the Xorg / git development site.
http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/git
You can copy and paste the script into a myxorgscript.sh (chmod +x it )
You can start building X like that (in console): sh myxorgscript init |
build | update
Depending on what distri you're using you'll need a bunch of dependencies.
If you're on Ubuntu I can help you out...

(this is if you want to build compiz too)
I hope this helps.

Dear Developers of Xorg
I wanted to build the entirety of X 7.4 frm source, but when
I saw that it is made up of individual tarballs, I decided to
write and ask if there is a single tarball of everything,
with a top level configure ...etc to build the whole thing.
I searched the FAQ for a "how to build X" or just "how to build"
but came up empty.
Thanx for any info to show how to build the whole 7.4 X system.
Best Regards,
JD
