Downloaded xenocara.tar.gz and extracted the contents to /usr/xenocara. Followed the instructions in the README file, but the compile stops on an error building an Intel driver. I got the archive off of OpenBSD.org under the 4.7 directory. I'm assuming that I downloaded the wrong one. Where I should I download the correct copy from?
