Well that directory is empty on both my pull of the CVS tree and the one
currently on sourceforge as of 1:00 PST.
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/dri/xc/xc/lib/Xau/

I should not have virtual screens enabled. At least i can not find it if i
do. The Virtual display option is not and set i have looked through the

turn on virtual screens unless there is more the one resolution for the
depth.
