You don't need the full sources. All you need is the linkkit.
The linkkit was created so people could customize their server. The server
I distributed uses the "kitchen sink" approach, so I can test the different
pieces and lazy people don't have to work. The XFree86 team actually suggests
distributing the package without a compiled server - only the linkkit.
With the linkkit you can disable PEX, add support only for your chipset and
font types, etc., making for a much smaller server. You'll have to make sure
your setup is right: /usr/X386/include is set up properly and there is no
/usr/include/X11; that you have the proper compiler, etc.
