I checked out xfree86.org/cvs and I downloaded the `xc' repository. I followed the instructions in INSTALL.TXT. When I try to make it, it fails, with the following messages: including in lib/GLw... make: don't know how to make /main/gfx/lib/glw/GLwDrawA.h. Stop *** Error code 2 I guess that file is missing. I tried another cvs update -d, but no luck. I'm now following a different lead, provided by Pete Young.
