Fallback on AC_PATH_X and friends. It's pretty straightforward.
Without actually testing:

PKG_CHECK_EXISTS([x11],
    [PKG_CHECK_MODULES([X], [x11])],
    [AC_PATH_XTRA])

That would give you $X_CFLAGS and $X_LIBS in both cases. There'd
probably be a little more error checking, but that's the gist of it.

Hi,

I understand that Cairo uses Xrender and on the server side EXA provides the
acceleration. I also see that
glitz, which is not actively developed any more, used GLX with OpenGL on the
server side for acceleration.
I am trying to understand as to whether one is better over the other. As we
already use the 3D driver on
the Xserver today for other purposes, it might be possible that we use that
instead of EXA.  I miss a lot
of history. So, can someone provide insight into this ?

thanks
mohan

No, that just happens to reflect day-to-day and development instances.

Saw that. FWIW, the first start with git ati .192 made my LCD do 
something I never saw: A box telling me that the mode needs to be below 
1280x1024/75 hz. However this was unreproduceable. Aside from that, it 
seems to work.
