This message is in reply to someone(sorry, delete your mail
accidently) who asked me about stripping down X server. So for those of
you who are not interested or already known(most likely:-), please ignore it.
Actually recompiling an XFree86 server is quite simple, just get
the xf86-312 source code, either from ftp or cdrom, then unpack it, read
the file /usr/X11R6/src/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/doc/INSTALL and
"READ.FreeBSD" carefully before you start. In the file "xf86site.def",
remove those unnecessary devices. So the server won't probe for these
non-exist device. Also check freebsd.cf to ensure -m486 is used for
optimization.
I've done a "time X 2>rep" for both X server. here enclosed
is the output:
