    <para><parameter>--with-module-dir=...</parameter>:  This parameter
    sets the destination for the installed modules.</para>

    <para><parameter>--enable-install-setuid</parameter>: The Xorg binary must
    run as the root user.  This switch ensures that the binary is installed
    setuid when <command>make</command> is run by an unprivileged user.</para>

    <para><command>cat &gt;&gt; /etc/sysconfig/createfiles...</command>: This
    command creates the <filename class='directory'>/tmp/.ICE-unix</filename>
    directory at startup, and ensures that the permissions and ownership are
    correct as is required by the server.</para>
