- You have to remove two "extern" declarations for these variables :
- in server/os/utils.c (variable defeatAccessControl)
- in server/ddx/hp/ngle/nglescreen.c (variable cfbScreenPrivateIndex)
- (just remove the "extern" qualifier and recompile).

- I kept my good old config files that work.

- By the way, I installed it and played a little. I was *very*
- disappointed by the slooooooow-down on our 720/Grayscale. Every window
- displacement is very slow (near one second to move an 80x50 xterm),
- much slower than a color Sparc with MIT sample server.
- Is this normal ?
