sudo apt-get install calibre
Should deal with dependencies, but will install an OOD version. So then:
sudo python -c "import urllib2; exec urllib2.urlopen('http://status.calibre-ebook.com/linux_installer').read(); main()"
To update to the latest.
Sigil for ePub editing:
wget http://sigil.googlecode.com/files/Sigil-0.3.1-Linux-x86-Setup.bin
chmod +x Sigil-0.3.1-Linux-x86-Setup.bin
sudo ./Sigil-0.3.1-Linux-x86-Setup.bin
Open the ePub file in Sigil. If it doesn't open or has an error, convert the epub to itself, which will over write the existing epub - so back up first.
Then open the folder "Styles" under the Book Browser, and open the Stylesheet.css
In the style sheet, change all margin{left,right} to 0.
Control S to save. Then exit Sigil.

LFS - Openbox Configuration
I originally wrote the following before I put together the far more sensible popular dependencies post, which cut down the shit significantly. I leave this here therefore, as an example of the joys of dependency hell.
I decide I want to install the obconf program which lets me configure openbox from a gui, and obmenu which lets me configure openbox's menu from, drum roll, a gui. Shocker. So, lets start by having a look at the README in the latest version of obmenu:
OK, so we installed Python 2.6.4 for Firefox, so we just need the other two. Now, what about obconf. Great, there is nothing in the README file for obconf. However, if you go to the website for obconf here, you get this:
So, we have GTK and Openbox (it take a special kind of mind to decide to point out that the configuration software for openbox needs openbox to be installed). Not sure what this Glade thing is, but it echos the python-glade package needed for obconf. A ha! It is an interface designer. Interestingly, wikipedia has in in the same category of tools as MUI for the Amiga. The glade 2.x library is presumably the libglade package referred to in BLFS. Good news is we have previously installed both of its dependencies, libxml2 and GTK+2. Now, as far as I and Google can gather there is no such fucking thing as python-glade, so I am operating on the presumption that python-glade = Glade 2.x library = libglade.
Error, error, error and then I check the page and discover that one of the tests is supposed to fail. OK, hands up that was my fault.
So that should be all the dependencies sorted out for obconf. Next is obmenu. Let's start with pygtk. Its README file says this about dependencies:
So, we obviously have GCC, we also have Python. We also have GTK+2 higher than all version listed there, as well as GLib (remember this is G(nome)Lib not G(nu)Libc). We have just installed libglade, so we are good to go. Not going to bother with the optional stuff. Lets just do this PyGObject thingy. In turn, it requires gobject-introspection, although it doesn't tell you that in its README. gobject-introspection in turn requires libiffi, according to BLFS.
Actually installing gobject-introspection was a right pain in the arse. The one with instructions in BLFS at the time of writing (0.6.14) doesn't fucking work with pygobject 2.26.0 (which is the latest available at the time of writing), so I downloaded the latest version of this. Which doesn't fucking work with my version of Glib. Ah fuck. So it turns into a guessing game to find a version of gobject-introspection which works with my glib AND pygobject. Bastard. 0.9.5 works. Oh, hang on:
No it fucking doesn't. Right. Lets try to solve this from the other direction and find the version of pygobject that will fucking work with gobject-introspection 0.6.14. By the way, what the fuck is gobject-introspection. It sounds suspiciously like an arts student's 'kooky' first album.
It turns out that if you look at the publish date of 0.6.14 it is 3rd June 2010. If you then look at 2.21 of pygobject that was published on 12th July 2010. Hmmm. Probably too late. 2.20 was September 2009 so that will definitely work with 0.6.14. Good. Progress. I install 2.20.
Well it installed, but then when I came to the next step (pygtk), oh, holy fucking shitting bastard. When I then downloaded 2.22 of pygtk, its README file states, and I quote:
What do I have? I have 2.20 - look its right up there! But when ./configuring I got:
Cocksucker. So when it SAYS 2.12.1 or higher it actually means 2.21.3 or higher. Looks like some lazy bastard hasn't updated the README file doesn't it? After checking file dates ... if I drop back to 2.17 of pygtk that should sync with 2.20 of PyGObject that I have installed.
Oh, jesus fuck give me strength. YES IT FUCKING IS. I try 2.21 of pygtk and I get exactly the same fucking, manifestly false, bullshit statement. Right. Lets try 2.21.3 of pygobject since pygtk seems to desire that above all other things.
Man, that is cutting things pretty god damned fine. And does it fucking work? Does it fuck. Right, lets try exactly 2.16.1 of pygobject.
Now for pygtk 2.17 again ...
God fucking damn cunting it. PYCAIRO is supposed to be a fucking optional package.
Well, at fucking last. Lesson? PYCairo is NOT FUCKING OPTIONAL. Probably all the other versions of pygtk were stalling on this as well, so my install is now completely unnecessarily retarded. Bastard.
Amazingly obmenu installed and is functional after all that shite. On the other hand obconf does not fucking work because Startup Notification has not been installed - boo fucking hoo. Bastard arseholes. This wasn't mentioned anywhere in its README of course.
And, fucking hell, they both now work. That was not fun.
By way of summary, the follow packages turned out to be needed:
(GTK+2, Python, libxml2)
I decide I want to install the obconf program which lets me configure openbox from a gui, and obmenu which lets me configure openbox's menu from, drum roll, a gui. Shocker. So, lets start by having a look at the README in the latest version of obmenu:
REQUERIMENTS: python >= 2.3, pygtk, python-glade
OK, so we installed Python 2.6.4 for Firefox, so we just need the other two. Now, what about obconf. Great, there is nothing in the README file for obconf. However, if you go to the website for obconf here, you get this:
Compiling ObConf requires the following packages:
GTK+ 2.x library and headers (development package)
Glade 2.x library and headers (development package)
Openbox 3.4 or above (the libraries development package if it is separate)So, we have GTK and Openbox (it take a special kind of mind to decide to point out that the configuration software for openbox needs openbox to be installed). Not sure what this Glade thing is, but it echos the python-glade package needed for obconf. A ha! It is an interface designer. Interestingly, wikipedia has in in the same category of tools as MUI for the Amiga. The glade 2.x library is presumably the libglade package referred to in BLFS. Good news is we have previously installed both of its dependencies, libxml2 and GTK+2. Now, as far as I and Google can gather there is no such fucking thing as python-glade, so I am operating on the presumption that python-glade = Glade 2.x library = libglade.
wget http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/libglade/2.6/libglade-2.6.4.tar.bz2 tar -jxvf libglade-2.6.4.tar.bz2 cd libglade-2.6.4 ./configure --prefix=/usr && make make check
Error, error, error and then I check the page and discover that one of the tests is supposed to fail. OK, hands up that was my fault.
make install cd .. rm -rvf libglade-2.6.4
So that should be all the dependencies sorted out for obconf. Next is obmenu. Let's start with pygtk. Its README file says this about dependencies:
Requirements
============
* C compiler (GCC and MSVC supported)
* Python 2.3.5 or higher
* PyGObject 2.12.1 or higher
* Glib 2.8.0 or higher
* GTK+ 2.8.0 or higher (optional) or
GTK+ 2.10.0 or higher for 2.10 API
GTK+ 2.12.0 or higher for 2.12 API
GTK+ 2.14.0 or higher for 2.14 API
GTK+ 2.16.0 or higher for 2.16 API
* libglade 2.5.0 or higher (optional)
* pycairo 1.0.2 or higher (optional)
* numpy (optional)So, we obviously have GCC, we also have Python. We also have GTK+2 higher than all version listed there, as well as GLib (remember this is G(nome)Lib not G(nu)Libc). We have just installed libglade, so we are good to go. Not going to bother with the optional stuff. Lets just do this PyGObject thingy. In turn, it requires gobject-introspection, although it doesn't tell you that in its README. gobject-introspection in turn requires libiffi, according to BLFS.
wget ftp://sourceware.org/pub/libffi/libffi-3.0.8.tar.gz tar -xzvf libffi-3.0.8.tar.gz cd libffi-3.0.8 ./configure --prefix=/usr && make make install cd .. rm -rvf libffi-3.0.8
Actually installing gobject-introspection was a right pain in the arse. The one with instructions in BLFS at the time of writing (0.6.14) doesn't fucking work with pygobject 2.26.0 (which is the latest available at the time of writing), so I downloaded the latest version of this. Which doesn't fucking work with my version of Glib. Ah fuck. So it turns into a guessing game to find a version of gobject-introspection which works with my glib AND pygobject. Bastard. 0.9.5 works. Oh, hang on:

No it fucking doesn't. Right. Lets try to solve this from the other direction and find the version of pygobject that will fucking work with gobject-introspection 0.6.14. By the way, what the fuck is gobject-introspection. It sounds suspiciously like an arts student's 'kooky' first album.

It turns out that if you look at the publish date of 0.6.14 it is 3rd June 2010. If you then look at 2.21 of pygobject that was published on 12th July 2010. Hmmm. Probably too late. 2.20 was September 2009 so that will definitely work with 0.6.14. Good. Progress. I install 2.20.

What do I have? I have 2.20 - look its right up there! But when ./configuring I got:

checking for GLIB - version >= 2.22.4... yes (version 2.22.4)
Man, that is cutting things pretty god damned fine. And does it fucking work? Does it fuck. Right, lets try exactly 2.16.1 of pygobject.

Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.
God fucking damn cunting it. PYCAIRO is supposed to be a fucking optional package.
* pycairo 1.0.2 or higher (optional)See - OPTIONAL. Right.

By way of summary, the follow packages turned out to be needed:

Updated BLFS Packages - OpenOffice.org

We need to install one dependency 'gperf':
tar -xzvf /sources/ooo/gperf-3.0.4.tar.gz
cd gperf-3.0.4
./configure --prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/share/doc/gperf-3.0.4 &&
make
make install &&
install -m644 -v doc/gperf.{dvi,ps,pdf,txt} /usr/share/doc/gperf-3.0.4 &&

rm -v dir &&
for FILENAME in *; do
install-info $FILENAME dir 2>/dev/null
done &&
popd
cd ..
rm -rvf gperf-3.0.4And now for OpenOffice.org which you just cannot install from a ramdisk on a 32bit machine.
cd /sources/ooo tar -xjvf OOo_3.2.1_src_system.tar.bz2 tar -xjvf OOo_3.2.1_src_core.tar.bz2 tar -xjvf OOo_3.2.1_src_extensions.tar.bz2 tar -xjvf OOo_3.2.1_src_l10n.tar.bz2 cd OOO320_m19 cp ../seamonkey-1.1.14.source.tar.bz2 moz/download/
Don't follow the instructions in BLFS, it gets the seamonkey filename wrong. Apparently OOo shits itself if you have certain environment variables set, so unset them and fire on a patch. In a rapidly developing theme the patch file name is also wrong on BLFS.
umask 0022 && unset LANG LC_ALL patch -Np1 -i ../OOo_3.2.1-build_with_db5-1.patch autoreconf
Now, set the configuration.
PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkg-config ./configure \ --enable-graphite \ --disable-lockdown \ --disable-binfilter \ --disable-fontooo \ --disable-cups \ --enable-fontconfig \ --disable-symbols \ --disable-gnome-vfs \ --disable-systray \ --disable-odk \ --disable-qadevooo \ --enable-cairo \ --disable-dbus \ --disable-gconf \ --enable-gio \ --disable-pam \ --without-afms \ --without-fonts \ --without-ppds \ --without-pam \ --with-system-stdlibs \ --with-system-libxml \ --with-system-libxslt \ --with-system-cairo \ --with-system-expat \ --with-system-zlib \ --with-system-jpeg \ --with-system-openssl \ --with-system-python \ --with-system-curl \ --with-system-freetype \ --with-jdk-home=/opt/jdk \ --with-java \ --with-ant-home=/opt/ant \ --with-perl-home=/usr \ --with-x \ --with-lang="en-GB" \ --with-dict=ENGB \ --with-package-format=native \ --with-vendor="Your name here" \ --with-use-shell=bash

Updated BLFS Packages - Desktop
We are using a slightly different install procedure this time. We are starting with GTK, then installing the Dependencies, and then moving on to applications. I put Openbox and Slim under that category, so here we go with the streamlined install now that the dependencies are taken care of:

LFS - Popular Dependencies
I have installed a number of bits of software onto my bare LFS/X/GTK system now, and I have noticed that I have come across the same dependencies time and again. I have installed Firefox, OpenOffice and a number of smaller applications, all of which shared to an extent background software. So, for the next build, I thought it would be a good idea to stick all of that software into a blogpost so I have a record of the shared stuff, so I can install it all in a one-er and then get on with the applications themselves.
First of all, there are a few packages which crop up and I keep having to double check that I have installed them. I have, because they form part of the core system. They are:
Installed with LFS
zlib
libuuid
Installed Basics
zip
unzip
lzma
openssl
Installed with Xorg:
XML::Parser
Intltool
libpng (and yes I applied the patch to allow it to be used with Firefox)
Fontconfig
Pixman
Installed with GTK:
Cairo
Pango
PCRE
tiff
jpeg
I do not need to worry about those again, they are already installed. So what is not, and what is the best order to install these extras in? I think first of all we will install some programs that do not depend on any of the other packages we are about to dump into the system. SQLite is a database program and startup-notification makes the pointer do the hourglass thing while another program is starting up. For some programs, unbelievably this is actually a prerequisite.
I am going to stick all of these source files in a separate folder in sources - this is just to show that they are not part of the structure of LFS, and neither are they the Applications that I will end up running.
Lets move on to a biggie which is the Python language. A number of applications use this, as do some of the intermediate libraries.
Right, now it is time for some hot library action:
Still on the libraries front, we installed Glib, Cairo, Pango and GTK. Some applications need GTK to be able to speak C++ so we need to install the following crossover libraries (the libsigc++ is needed for glibmm). Note that this project has taken so long that I am now out of date with my version of glib. I had to update it before I could install glibmm. I also had to update gtk+2 and ATK, but not cairo or pango. I will write up a new GTK+2 installation post to bring the installation up to date.
The next set are modules which plug in to the Python and give it access to GTK.
Sticking with the previous theme, we also need to install some modules for Perl:
Now we need some applications which are regularly relied on:
And some C++ stuff which I am a little in the dark about.
Some security libraries (and a stand alone SQLite database to support them:
Lastly I am going to install some Java software including, stunningly, Java. Download the Java source from this link into the /sources/extras folder. Then run these commands:
JUnit is not, as you may be forgiven for assuming, a boy band. It is, instead, a small Java application that allows various tests to be run on other Java applications, such as Apache Ant which is a Java based alternative to [make] and OpenOffice.org, amongst others, is going to use it to compile.

Updated BLFS Packages - GTK
The reason for this update is two fold. Firstly I have nearly finished a stand alone post incorporating all the libraries, languages and programs that I found the applications I wanted to install (Firefox, OpenOffice et al) had as dependencies. If these are all installed in a one-er it makes it easier to go on and install the applications AND it makes it easier to update one post when there are version changes. Secondly, so much time had passed between my original post on GTK that that version was out of date. So, I need to bring GTK up to date. I will just be updating the All In One post, all the explanations set out in full in the main post still apply, but do not need to be rehearsed here.
So, the current installation idea is: Configuration, Toolchain, Actual Build, Hardware, Xorg, GTK, Shared Prerequisites, Desktop, and finally applications. Here is the new GTK. I had to go beyond BLFS and upgrade Glib and GTK+2 because they just did not work. In addition, Firefox in particular wanted the latest version of Cairo available, so I had to upgrade it, which meant that the Pixman version installed with Xorg was no longer good enough, so that needed updated as well. The latest version of GTK+2 wanted an updated pixbuf package, which I think used to be incorporated in GTK+2.
Version 2.22 of gtk+2 has problems with icons. In particular you need to install some icons to fill in some blanks. The easiest way to sort this is to install the gnome icon theme. We first of all need a program to make the theme names backwards compatible. Don't really know what this is about, but it also needs another XML::Type of Thing.
You then need to create a configuration file for gtk to point it to the new icons we just installed.

rm -rvf apache-ant-1.8.0Next we come to one of my favourite ways BLFS has of fucking me off. If you look at the prerequisites for OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 in BLFS here you see Apache Ant, (good just installed that), GTK+2 (installed that ages ago), the Perl module XML::Parser (installed for Xorg), another one called Archive::Zip (right, need that), which (installed it to get lspci working with PowerTop), Zip and Unzip (both installed AGES ago).
Looks easy dunnit? Only one tiny Perl Module to install. Ah. Welcome to the wonders of Perl Module dependencies. Archive::Zip needs Compress::Zlib, which in turn needs ... ohforfuckssake. Just have a look at this:

Incidentally I am using the Server Beach mirror for these files, because I have had problems in the past trying to find them. They are pretty tiny, so hopefully that's OK.

Don't follow the instructions in BLFS, it gets the seamonkey filename wrong. Apparently OOo shits itself if you have certain environment variables set, so unset them and fire on a patch. In a rapidly developing theme the patch file name is also wrong on BLFS.
umask 0022 && unset LANG LC_ALL patch -Np1 -i ../OOo_3.2.1-build_with_db5-1.patch autoreconf
Now, set the configuration. I originally tried to set this with:
--with-system-libxml \but the system complained that:
to prevent incompatibilities between internal libxslt and libxml2, the office will be build with system-libxslt checking which libxslt to use... external checking for LIBXSLT... configure: error: Package requirements (libxslt) were not met: No package 'libxslt' found
So I just did not tell OOO that I already had libxml installed to force it to use the version that it ships with in the source package.
PKG_CONFIG=/usr/bin/pkg-config ./configure \ --enable-graphite \ --disable-lockdown \ --disable-binfilter \ --disable-fontooo \ --disable-cups \ --enable-fontconfig \ --disable-symbols \ --disable-gnome-vfs \ --disable-systray \ --disable-odk \ --disable-qadevooo \ --enable-cairo \ --disable-dbus \ --disable-gconf \ --enable-gio \ --disable-pam \ --without-afms \ --without-fonts \ --without-ppds \ --without-pam \ --with-system-stdlibs \ --with-system-cairo \ --with-system-expat \ --with-system-zlib \ --with-system-jpeg \ --with-system-openssl \ --with-system-python \ --with-system-curl \ --with-jdk-home=/opt/jdk \ --with-java \ --with-ant-home=/opt/ant \ --with-perl-home=/usr \ --with-x \ --with-lang="en-GB" \ --with-dict="en-GB" \ --with-package-format=native \ --with-vendor="Your name here" \ --with-use-shell=bash
Now compile this all with:
source LinuxX86Env.Set.sh && ./bootstrap && make $CORES_TO_USE
Oh, joy un-fucking-bound. I got this error message (buried in a pile of crap by the way):
/shlibsign: No such file or directory
I did a google search for that and it turned up this post (albeit for someone compiling OOo on Windows). Seems there is something wrong in the Seamonkey Makefile which means it can't define its source directory properly. I did a bit more searching and found this solution.
Now that looks like the contents of a patch file to me. The important lines for this problem are the following:
-SRCDIR = $(call core_abspath,.) ... +ifeq ($(OS_TARGET), Linux) + SRCDIR = .
Translated into english that means [-] remove the troublesome [SRCDIR] line, and [+] replace it [if] your [TARGET] [OS] [eq]uals [Linux] with [SRCDIR = .]. The patch is for a different version of the Seamonkey source though, and I am not sure how to download or apply it from where I found it even if it was for the version I have. So, best option is to just do the proposed changes by hand. You can do this in [nano] by running the following command:
nano /sources/ooo/OOO320_m19/nss/unxlngi6.pro/misc/build/mozilla/security/nss/cmd/shlibsign/Makefile
You then find [CTRL + W] the core_abspath line and turn it into [SRCDIR = .]. Save the file, and rerun the [make] command. But, of course, that didn't fucking work either. It was still complaining that it couldn't find some file. So I went to a new command prompt and ran the [find] command to get the absolute path to the file. I then re-ran the [nano] command to edit the Makefile and I just pasted in the full absolute path (minus the /[filename] bit at the end). And then it correctly built in:
real 930m58.090s user 806m18.691s sys 57m40.225s
930 MINUTES! And, it ran for a good 30-40 minutes before it crashed the first time due to the stupid path problem. So that's 960 minutes at least - a whole 16 HOURS to compile this! The sources folder (with all the working directories for the build) ended up taking up 8.8Gb of space. So no chance to compile on a ramdrive using a 32bit machine then.
Hope I got the settings right. Time to install it.
pushd instsetoo_native/unxlng?6.pro/OpenOffice/native/install/en-US/linux-2.6-*/buildroot/opt && cp -r -v openoffice.org3 /opt/openoffice-3.2.1 && cp -r -v openoffice.org/* /opt/openoffice-3.2.1 && ln -sf basis3.2 /opt/openoffice-3.2.1/basis-link && popd
Ok, those commands look a bit odd. The first one [pushd] basically says "Remember where we started and move to the following directory" The one at the end, popd, says, "OK, finished now - go back to where we started. The [&&} at the end of each line tells the system to run all of the commands or none of the commands. So if one fails, or there is a mistake, it doesn't run all of them. The other commands are the usual copy and link commands we have seen before. Next up is a brief linking loop:
for appl in sbase scalc sdraw simpress smath soffice spadmin swriter
do
ln -v -sf /opt/openoffice-3.2.1/program/$appl /usr/bin
doneThat basically gives the variable [$appl] the value [sbase] then runs the [l]i[n]k command in the next line, then changes the variable to [scalc] and runs the command again, and so on.
To install some shiny icons, we run:
pushd sysui/desktop/icons &&
install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/icons/{hicolor,locolor} &&
cp -r -v hicolor/* /usr/share/icons/hicolor &&
cp -r -v locolor/* /usr/share/icons/locolor &&
popdThat just makes a couple of directories and then populates them. Lastly, if you happen to be using .desktop files to organise your menu systems (which may be possible with Openbox, I am not sure) then you want to install the .desktop files for OpenOffice:
install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/applications &&
pushd /opt/openoffice-3.2.1/share/xdg/ &&
for appl in *.desktop
do
sed -i '/Exec/d' $appl &&
echo "Exec=/usr/bin/s`echo $appl | sed 's/.desktop//'`" >> $appl &&
sed -i '/Icon/d' $appl &&
echo "Icon=`echo "ooo-${appl}3.2" | sed 's/\.desktop//'`" >> $appl
done &&
sed -i 's@bin/sprinteradmin@bin/spadmin@' printeradmin.desktop &&
cp -v *.desktop /usr/share/applications &&
popdThat command is an amalgam of the ones we have just run. Firstly it creates a directory if it doesn't exist anyway. Then it uses pushd to save the current location and to move to another directory. In the directory it then runs a loop on every file in the new directory with a [.desktop] extension. The loop includes (aaaargh) sed commands. It looks like it is changing the default entries for [Exec] and [Icon] in the [.desktop] files. Must have a good reason for doing this. Oh! I see, the original .desktop files had an Exec line which tried to run [openoffice.org3 -writer %U] for instance. Sed replaces that with [/usr/bin/swriter] which is also the name of the link file we made above. It also tweaks the Icon line, but I know not why.
I do not get the final [sed] on the [printeradmin.desktop] file. It then just copies the files to the appropriate place. If you have installed the desktop-files-utils package (which I have not) then you can now run the following command to let it know to rebuild the menus:
update-desktop-database
We then need to install the dictionaries and any extensions we compiled (don't remember compiling any but hey ho):
cp -v dictionaries/unxlngi6.pro/bin/dict-*.oxt sdext/unxlngi6.pro/bin/*.oxt reportbuilder/unxlngi6.pro/bin/report-builder.oxt swext/unxlngi6.pro/bin/wiki-publisher.oxt /opt/openoffice-3.2.1/share/extension/install
When I ran this, it copied all the dictionaries, but could not find any other extensions. And we then need to install the extensions, which may need some manual input:
for ext in /opt/openoffice-3.2.1/share/extension/install/*.oxt
do
/opt/openoffice-3.2.1/program/unopkg add --shared --verbose $ext
doneThis gave me LOADS of dictionaries. I think I may have inadvertently installed ALL of them. I will have to look back at the [with-dict] option that I used - may have been wrong. Last step is to install a link so that you can view office documents from within Firefox:
ln -sv /opt/openoffice-3.2.1/program/libnpsoplugin.so /opt/firefox4b7/lib/firefox-4.0b7/plugins
Obviously, choose the proper path for your current firefox installation.
Et, voila.

Linux from Scratch - Radeon HD 6870
If one has recently purchased an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 6870, one will be pretty fucking pissed off with the lack of linux drivers for the same. However, one can do a bodge job as follows:
Choose to install the driver, not build a package, and don't bother with the expert settings. Now, the problem is that the modules are installed to /usr/lib/xorg/modules and not the LFS default of /usr/lib/X11/modules. I considered farting around with symbolic links to sort everything out, but it turns out that Xorg has a brighter idea. You just add ANOTHER Modules Path to the xorg.conf that you are working with so the files section has:
You then change the driver from 'intel' or 'vesa' or whatever, to 'fglrx':

Choose to install the driver, not build a package, and don't bother with the expert settings. Now, the problem is that the modules are installed to /usr/lib/xorg/modules and not the LFS default of /usr/lib/X11/modules. I considered farting around with symbolic links to sort everything out, but it turns out that Xorg has a brighter idea. You just add ANOTHER Modules Path to the xorg.conf that you are working with so the files section has:
ModulePath "/usr/lib/X11/modules" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
You then change the driver from 'intel' or 'vesa' or whatever, to 'fglrx':
Driver "fglrx"
