It needs to be fixed for 32-bit machines and for cards which do not support an hardware mouse pointer. If you plan to use the modesetting video driver, run the following command: patch -Np1 -i ../xorg-server-&xorg-server-version;-fix_modesetting-1.patch Install the server by running the following commands: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG \ --enable-glamor \ --enable-install-setuid \ --enable-suid-wrapper \ --disable-systemd-logind \ --with-xkb-output=/var/lib/xkb && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now as the root user: make install && mkdir -pv /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d && cat >> /etc/sysconfig/createfiles << "EOF" /tmp/.ICE-unix dir 1777 root root /tmp/.X11-unix dir 1777 root root EOF --enable-glamor: Build the Glamor DIX (Device Independent X) module which is currently required for Southern Islands and Sea Islands radeon video chipsets, optional for some other radeons, and also optional for the intel driver. It is also used by the modesetting driver (which is part of this package) for on hardware using KMS and which offers acceleration. --enable-install-setuid: The Xorg binary must run as the root user. This switch ensures that the binary is installed setuid when make is run by an unprivileged user. --enable-suid-wrapper: Build suid-root wrapper for legacy driver support on rootless xserver systems. --disable-systemd-logind: Do not build systemd-logind support, otherwise, an error (EE), logged in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, occurs when starting the X server. Systemd is not supported by BLFS. cat >> /etc/sysconfig/createfiles...: This command creates the /tmp/.ICE-unix and /tmp/.X11-unix directories at startup, and ensures that the permissions and ownership are correct as required by the server. --enable-dmx: Build DMX (Distributed Multihead X) server. --enable-kdrive: this option allows the configure script to enable Xephyr if its dependencies are met. Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories cvt, dmxaddinput, dmxaddscreen, dmxinfo, dmxreconfig, dmxresize, dmxrminput, dmxrmscreen, dmxtodmx, dmxwininfo, gtf, vdltodmx, X, Xdmx, xdmxconfig, Xephyr, Xnest, Xorg, and Xvfb several under $XORG_PREFIX/lib/xorg/modules/{,drivers,extensions} including modesetting_drv.so $XORG_PREFIX/include/xorg, $XORG_PREFIX/lib/xorg, $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, and /var/lib/xkb Short Descriptions cvt calculates VESA CVT mode lines. cvt dmx* are various tools used for manipulating the dmx server. dmx* gtf calculates VESA GTF mode lines. gtf vdltodmx is a tool used to convert VDL config files to DMX config files. vdltodmx X is a symbolic link to Xorg. X Xephyr is a nested X server which supports modern X extensions. Xephyr Xnest is a nested X server. Xnest Xorg is the X11R7 X Server. Xorg Xvfb is the virtual framebuffer X server for X Version 11. Xvfb xdmxconfig is a graphical configuration utility for the dmx server. xdmxconfig modesetting_drv.so provides a video driver for machines using Kernel Mode Setting (KMS). This will use glamor if that has been enabled and the hardware offers acceleration. modesetting_drv.so
