For instance, do not build Sun drivers for an x86 PC as the Sun drivers will expect to see SPARC symbols exported from the kernel. Failure to follow this warning will result in a display lockup, which requires a hard reboot, when configuring Xorg for the first time. For this reason, these drivers have been commented out in the wget file. Install the drivers by running the following commands for each package: case $(basename "$PWD") in xf86-input-evdev-[0-9]* | xf86-video-ati-[0-9]* | \ xf86-video-fbdev-[0-9]* | xf86-video-glint-[0-9]* | \ xf86-video-newport-[0-9]* ) sed -i -e "s/\xc3\xb8/\\\\[\/o]/" \ -e "s/\xc3\xa4/\\\\[:a]/" \ -e "s/\xc3\x9c/\\\\[:U]/" man/*.man ;; esac && case $(basename "$PWD") in xf86-video-s3-[0-9]* | xf86-video-xgi-[0-9]* ) for file in `grep -Rl "xf86Version.h" *` do sed 's@xf86Version.h@xorgVersion.h@g' -i "$file" done ;; esac && ./configure $XORG_CONFIG \ --with-xorg-module-dir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/modules && make These packages do not provide test suites. Now as the root user: make install sed -i ... man/*.man: A few packages install man pages in UTF-8 encoding, and they will not display correctly using Man-DB. This command converts the offending characters to ones that man can properly display. --with-xorg-module-dir=...: This switch ensures that the drivers are installed into the correct directory.
