Then edit the newly created host.def - you probably only want to build the

For DRI, you may have to edit even more files in config/cf/, AFAIK DRI is only
built on i386 by default.
DRI won't build on powerpc at present.  The first place it dies is in
the makefiles for libOSmesa, where $(SUBDIRS) becomes empty.

Which tree and version?

I was playing around with stock X 4.0.1 on the train about an hour ago, and
apart from the /dev entries missing (anyone has the majors/minors handy? :),
everything _seemed_ to at least load fine...

I'll report the definite result after more testing.
