I dunno where to grab debian's xfree86 source.  It may be easier for
you to just grab a deb package for xorg and upgrade.  perhaps ubuntu's
6.8.x packages.  But yes, you will need the whole source.  If you are
goign to rebuild X from source you might want to just build xorg.  I
don't have time to backport the code to 4.3.

that stuff is pretty old.  I ought to take that down.
