5. Reconfiguring the server (source distribution)

To build a different set of servers or servers with a different set of drivers installed:

1. Make sure the source for any new drivers is in the correct place (e.g., driver source should be in a subdirectory of xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers).
2. Change the settings of the server defines in host.def to specify which servers you wish to build. Also, change the driver lists to suit your needs.
3. From xc/programs/Xserver, run:

   	make Makefile
   	make Makefiles
   	make includes
   	make depend
   	make
