For the source, ftp to export.lcs.mit.edu, get the mit X11R5 core dist
(in /pub/R5/mit-[1234]), get everything in /pub/R5/fixes, and everything
in /contrib/XFree86. Then follow the directions in the XFree86 README.
One thing though. Right before you are ready to do a "make World",
apply all the patches in README.late. There are a lot of important
bug fixes in there. Note that this will include all the fixes in
"1.3u1", the ATI text restore problem, and more.
Then you can give a copy to Scott. :-)
Frankly it would be a good idea to get the binary for this server up
somewhere anyway.
