All device dependent modules can be recompiled and installed from their
respective directory (after X has been build once). The device dependent
modules are:
x_dri.so (MesaGL device driver), in
xc/lib/GL/mesa/src/name_of_the_device (do a make and make install)
x_drv.so (XFree86 device driver), in
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/name_of_the_device (do a make and
make install)
x.o (kernel module), in
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel (do a make -f
Makefile.linux x.o and insmod ./x.o or directly copy it in your kernel
modules directory)
but if you want to debug some features in x_dri.so, you might want a
better support for debugging by adding a built-in device driver in the
libGL itself, which is less complicated than debugging a driver module.
Check the options in config/cf/xfree86.
