Umm, this is buildable from the src.rpm but is a bit borked - make
depend doesn't work so you cant just run mkmf script, I think the via
driver

Just change the first %define build_sdk to 1 and rebuild the rpm :)

I've also found some stuff needs more than the sdk (synaptics and vnc)
so in addition I've a bug out for XFree86-source as well, though I'm not
an X hacker so it may be possible to build with the sdk using some voodo
but the synaptics driver looked to need headers not available with
-devel and -sdk. VNC also ships the whole XFree86 tgz in the src.rpm atm
which sucks so using a -source package and lndir worked well for me.

My bugzilla entry is here
