5. Reconfiguring the server (using the source distribution)

If you would like to build several different sets of servers or server(s) with a various sets of drivers then you should follow this procedure:

  1. Ensure that the source for any new drivers is in the correct place (e.g., all driver source should be in a subdirectory of xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers).
  2. Change the settings of the server definitions in host.def to specify which servers you wish to build. Also, change the driver lists to suit your needs.
  3. From xc/programs/Xserver, run:
    	make Makefile
    	make Makefiles
    	make includes
    	make depend
    	make
