Hi,
I've encountered a problem today while trying to build X 4 from source,
with adapted Matrox driver from the Matrox site (I have a G450). I've
posted this already to this list as a CC from a mail to a xfree86 mailing
list, but now I'm fairly certain it's a Debian-specific problem, since
I've succesfully build the debian source with modified matrox mga driver
using 'make World'. The error only seems to show up when I use
'debian/rules build', which is rather odd. Anyway, here is the error
message again, maybe someone knows why the build fails using the debian
build process, and continuous using the 'normal' build process? (the error
is obviously also encountered, but it doesn't cause the build process to
fail).
