Hey,

I just successfully installed XOrg-test. Nice work Nick, 6.8.0 didn't 
work, but 6.8.1 compiled fine.

Then I found that I couldn't start X unless I was root.

After some googling I found a solution: add file /etc/pam.d/xserver with 
these lines:

auth            required        pam_permit.so
account         required        pam_permit.so

No idea about the security implications.

	Jasper
