My memory is hazy, but here's what I remember... The DCC calls are commented 
out because they crash the xbox. The cvs source on xbox-linux only works with 
xfree86 4.2, the gentoo patches work on 4.3.0. Compiling the full thing is 
easy (make World), but takes a long time. The patches for xbox support are 
very small and mostly seem to be disabling calls that cause crashes (probing, 
unsupported hw), or writing values to undocumented registers to set the xbox 
screen up.
