Thanks Michel,

I *did* say I saw very new to this...

Before building, you should have copied xc/config/cf/{xf86site,host}.def

Then edit the newly created host.def - you probably only want to build the
server and drivers, and choose the drivers you want.
Oh-oh.

This was a step missing from the instructions :-(

Maybe I complied a lot more than necessary (and hence the time)...

Would I need to build all the apps once (so that they are compatible?).

After that, I suppose, I just rebuild the driver when the rsync changes...
For DRI, you may have to edit even more files in config/cf/, AFAIK DRI is only
built on i386 by default.
Do I also need to enable different support in the kernel?
(e.g. /dev/agpart support ?)
(there's been a fair amount about different fb stuff flying around...)
(I have ATI{mach64,r128}/IMSTT support enabled by default - since these are
the cards I have).

Iain.
