I recently had some major problems with X. If you were on IRC you
probably noticed me cursing... I'm not sure if the problem is caused by
a bug in the spell or a bug in Xfree86's stuff, mso I'm asking here
before I make a bug in our bugzilla.

For one reason or another I needed to reacast X. This was the first time
I'd cast 4.4. I recently upgraded to linux 2.6 as well. The cast failed
when it tried to build the broken SiS DRM stuff. No matter what I did I
couldn't get X to not build DRM, and whenever it tried to build the SIS
stuff, it error out.

I recompiled the kernel with no agpart and no DRI (or is it called DRM
in there...), and still X insisted on compiling DRM :/

I finaly solved the problem by getting the SIS stuff to compile
properly. I needed to
ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.4/include/video/sisfb.h
/usr/src/linux-2.6.4/include/linux/sisfb.h

I'm not sure what a bug report would say... is anyone able to build X
4.4 w/o DRM at all?
