Hello Paul, It looks like configure didn't even use the XORG_CONFIG variable which is setup toward the beginning of Xorg. If you are using the script then it should be using: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG Refer to http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/x/xorg7.html for stable or http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/xorg7.html for development.
