OK, I've tried that....  No joy.  The problem is that the autogen script 
doesn't find any of the correct header files.  It's a debian dependency 
issue.  Even when I edit the source by hand to put in the correct 
locations, it still fails.  I think I'm wasting a lot of time trying to 
reverse-engineer the debian deps rather than building nouveau.  Is there 
a 'getting started' howto for building X?  I only need the very basics 
for testing nouveau.  Is there some basic basic script that will pull 
down the tarballs and allow me to install a minimal xorg for testing 
nouveau?
