    use the following commands:</para>

    <para><parameter>--without-xcb</parameter>: By default,
    <application>libX11</application> will use <xref linkend="libxcb"/>
    for its transport layer. Omit this parameter (or the <command>case</command>
    statement) if you've installed <xref linkend="libxcb"/>.</para>

    <para><parameter>--with-fop</parameter>: Use <xref linkend="fop"/> to
    generate PDF documentation (only for the libXfont package).</para>

    <para><parameter>--disable-devel-docs</parameter>: Diable generation of
    text documentation in the libXfont package if
    <xref linkend="xmlto"/> is installed without a text browser. Omit
    this parameter (or the entire <command>case</command> statement) if a text
    browser is installed.</para>

  <sect2 role="configuration">
    <title>Configuration of Xorg Libraries</title>

    <para>If you've chosen to install <application>Xorg</application> into
    <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, then no further
    configuration is necessary and you can skip the rest of this section.
    If you've opted for an alternate prefix, you should create three symlinks
    to satisfy the expected environment of several packages.
    Execute the following commands as the root user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>ln -sv $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11 /usr/lib/X11 &amp;&amp;
ln -sv $XORG_PREFIX/include/X11 /usr/include/X11 &amp;&amp;
