the are several files which may need to be customised in the .../config
directory. site.def seems a good place to start. as for documentation,
this is the last part of the X11R4 build, sort of catch-22 for you here.
try going to the doc directory and seeing if you can't find/build what
you need by hand, can't remember the filname offhand. there might be
some .ps files hanging aroung that also help.

please tell us more about your configuration. i'm certain unless its the
weirdest of machines that someone somewhere out there has actually done
what you are trying too already and even if not someone may be able to
help you more.
