Does it builds > correctly? yes, it builds and works. you have to enable a vga driver mode at the kernel prompt though. you'll get a completely barebone X desktop with nothing else on it as the ugly xclock and 2 xterms (after ca 20 seconds of pointless waiting...) not something anybody except nortti wants to use... > At this time I think to take an older X release without some stuff I > don't need.
