I ran the build_from_tarballs script again using /opt/xorg72 with a symlink to hd - the compile ran without error, but the first thing I noticed is that X will only run as root. When I compiled to /usr/local, X would run as user DSL.
From this excerpt from the compile checks, it looks like the hardware acceleration built OK - maybe the second line explains why X will only run as root (unfortunately I don't keep the output from the /usr/local build):| Code Sample | Building xserver module component xorg-server-1.2.0...

As ^hats^ says, the X autoconfig fails with a framebuffer error - even though it correctly identifies my graphics card, it then ignores it. The xorgcfg utilty does the same thing and managed to wrongly setup a 3-button PS/2 mouse.
Anyway, after playing around with the xorg.conf file, things seem to work and (according to Xorg.0.log) the glx and dri modules load.
I guess I need to solve the problem of why X will only run as root from /opt/xorg before I can think about making an extension - maybe this is due to the symlink to hd and the permissions on the hd?
Is it possible to make a uci extension after compiling to /usr/local?
