I am not near that machine, so I cannot check the log, but I would think 
that it would not be using the old X binary as it should have been 
overwritten by the new one.
I did build the whole thing outside of the usr tree, following the 
instructions on the X.org wiki. The build script was amended to prepend 
  the correct path to the script, and the prefix was set also, so 
everything got built at (as it happens) /video2/temp/tmp/modular. The 
source was at ..../tmp/src. Modular's folders were actually rsync'd over 
the /usr folders using -avu

So it should be using the new binary anyway.

THanks for the quick reply. I did look at Xorg.0.log but I did not look 
specifically for that..I will

Any other thoughts?
