I had the same thought and your reply prompted me to try something I'd 
been contemplating.  Bottom line, I can successfully compile LFS 
12.4-47/linux-6.17.9 using chroot when booted into 12.4 if I I don't 
start X.

This makes little sense to me as I previously reported I can compile 
when booted into 12.4 in X if not using chroot.  Plus, I've always 
compiled a new installation from a window opened in X.    I did so this 
time with 12.4-47 and things worked as usual through chapter 9.  My 
procedure is to make an image after finishing chapter 8.  I then restore 
the image and use the "Entering the Chroot Environment" instructions 
from chapter 7 from a window opened in X.  Is that wrong?
