Not too sure how to deal with that.  I generally just do a pull from git and 
then fire off a build. This proceeds neatly until it hits the vmmouse module
which stops the process.  I don't see an option anywhere to skip it and
I don't know if it is a "need" or a "want".

What I could do is put the username doing the compile into a group called
"xorg" and give that group write permissions to a few specific directories.

Is that what you suggest ?  Or am I supposed to do this build as the root user?
