Installing XFree 4.2 into non standard location - help

[Andreas Leitner <nozone@sbox.tugraz.at>]

Hi,

I own a AIW Radeon. The card works quite nicely with XFree 4.1, but some
features (TV Out, TV In, ...) will only work with X 4.2 + some special
drivers from the Gatos project. For those to try I need to hand compile
my own X (at least the gatos guys recommend this) and install it over my
existing X.

Now I have downloaded the sources of X 4.2 and did a "make World" on
them. But I really don't like installing X over my X 4.1 which I
installed via debs. Is there a chance to install it into some non
standard dir, just to try it out.

I would really like to install it somewhere at: /home/al/myxtest/ and
still be able as user "al" to use this version instead of the properly
installed X package.

Only problem is: I have no idea how to do it...

Anybody willing to enlighten me?

many thanks in advance,
Andreas
