Installing XOrg 7.x

lin xf86-input-evdev
Installation notes
XOrg7 is installing to /usr by default and NOT to /usr/X11R7 or any other prefix inside /usr. The Filesystem Hierarchy Standard does not allow that. All major linux distributions are following the FHS and have adjusted their builds accordingly:
You may however set an arbitary prefix for XOrg incase you do not want it to install to /usr. You may do so by running the following command:
-
lunar set X11R7_PREFIX=/your/prefix/here
The XOrg7 profile is going to create some symlinks on your system:
-
/usr/X11 -> $MODULE_PREFIX; /usr by default -
/usr/X11R6 -> $MODULE_PREFIX; /usr by default
The X11R6 symlink is there for compatibility reasons. Many of the older and even some of the newer packages inside the moonbase have a hardcoded path pointing to /usr/X11R6 inside their source trees. Keeping the symlink prevents them from breaking apart.
