Inbetween 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 (exactly in ChangeSet 10742 of unstable: Add
access to monitor vt over VNC, Recognise Ctrl-Alt-1/2/3...) This change
added this dependancy on x11-devel package...

But you can build on the Athlon64 X2 machine, and copy the install
directory to the "play machine"... This is what I'm doing, as I don't
want to loose all my source-changes when (undoubtedly) the AMD-V machine
crashes because I've done something stupid in the hypervisor... Crashing
an ext2/ext3 disk many enough times will eventually cause an
unrepairable disk error and everything will be a mess... :-( So I use a
different machine to build/download the source code, and copy it acroess
when I've built it - I even wrote a little script to do that and reboot
the remote machine...
