XOrg-test module

[Jens Luedicke]

Hi !

I linned the new XOrg-test module and I couldn't startx (complained about
PAM and missing ownership of the console). I re-linned it - this failed with
a broken include path to fontconfig. After some tweaking I could get my
old XOrg to work again. I may give the new XOrg-test another chance later.
