[Arm-netbook] compiling xserver-kdrive (or maybe xserver-xfbdev) on CT-PC89E

[Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton]

i've decided that xorg is using up far too much valuable space, and am
going to compile xfbdev or maybe kdrive, for debian/lenny.  it's
already available for debian/testing but DO NOT use it because it will
require udev 0.125 and that will screw up your system, thanks to it
being incompatible with 2.6.24 kernels (which we can't change right
now)

so i've made some tiny modifications to debian/rules of
xserver-xorg-core 1.4.2 to enable creation of xserver-xfbdev package,
will see what happens.

to get round the problem of not enough space, i'm building it over nfs
(!!) which seems to work fine: the only thing that's very important is
that the host _must_ use nfs-kernel-server because nfs-user-server
cannot set mtime timestamps: that screws up the "touch" command, which
in turn screws up configure scripts.

other than that, i appear to be keeping this machine thoroughly busy,
loadaverage 3.5, no swap, still seems to be happy.
