building kdrive (part duex)

i restarted the next day (today)
and it takes forever to build this
and if you find an error or missing lib.
(remember this was nearly empty debian install)
then i have to start the whole thing over
again. i noticed lots of things where
getting build that may not have been needed.

i started looking around and found
the gentoo ebuild for kdrive.

# Recently there has been a lot of stability problem in Gentoo-land. Many
# things can be the cause to this, but I believe that it is due to gcc3
# still having issues with optimizations, or with it not filtering bad
# combinations (protecting the user maybe from themselves) yet.
#
# This can clearly be seen in large builds like glibc, where too aggressive
# CFLAGS cause the tests to fail miserbly.
#
# Quote from Nick Jones , who in my opinion
# knows what he is talking about:
#
# People really shouldn't force code-specific options on... It's a
# bad idea. The -march options aren't just to look pretty. They enable
# options that are sensible (and include sse,mmx,3dnow when apropriate).
#
# The next command strips CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS from nearly all flags. If
# you do not like it, comment it, but do not bugreport if you run into
# problems.

deleted the whole xc directory
untar-ed the XFree86-4.4.0 tar files
copy the above host.def to the
the ./xc/config/cf directory
then moved back up to xc and did
make World

this has again crashed

what do hope to get?
tinx but if could make a timo derivative
that indeed had x11 that would be
ok as well.

more ideas on building kdrive.
http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/kdrive.html
again the same ideas.
get the xfree86 code than create a host.def file
and make World.

my suspiction is that i am not making the kernel
with frame buffer support or that when im
loading the kernel im not telling it to
enable frame buffer support.
i found this comment :
Using the Xfbdev server requires making the framebuffer device available at boot time. I do it by adding vga=788 (for 800x600) to lilo.conf.
in the web page
http://www.rule-project.org/en/sw/kdrive.php
I am not using lilo but i am using isolinux so i need
to add the following to the isolinux.cfg file
vga=788 but when i do this it barfs.
so i am rebuilding the kernel and
trying to get frame buffer support to work.
