On 1.6.1-stable/i386, I rebuilt xsrc recently. I had two problems,
and I suspect leftover crud in my build tree, so I am stripping down
to pure cvs bits and will try again. But, I'll list my
problems/workarounds in case they help someone else.
1) Matrox 200 drive would not start, claiming it could not find
mga_hal module. I've had this card since July 1999, and never knew
about this module. Googling/rtfming/utsling inform me it is for
DVI and 2nd head support in some cards (mine does neither), and
that the default behavior is to load/use it if available and
otherwise just continue. I added Option "NoHal" to XF86Config, and
then the server ran.
2) xdm complained about not finding
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/libXdmGreet.so
I found this in /usr/X11R6/lib/, and symlinked to it, and now xdm
runs/works, but has a different-looking login screen, without the
xf86 logo.
For now I'm blaming imake for the second problem, and hoping tha my
new build will fix all this.
