You'll also need xorg-x11-devel packages (assuming you're using
Fedora/RH/SuSE or derivatives thereof). That's why your SDL didn't
include X11 support, you didn't need to download the entire XOrg source
and compile yourself, all you need is the *-devel package.

Also keep in mind that the sim doesn't work currently with NPTL and
Tremor is broken on Linux for some reason. That means on FC4+ you'll
need to figure out how to install and use a LinuxThreads-enabled glibc.
There's a thread in the web forum about this (but without success so
far).
