Thomas,

You can find my work on updating to x11r7.7 on gitorious at 
https://gitorious.org/willw-buildroot/willw-buildroot/commits/remotes/gitorious/x11r7.7

It needs updating to buildroot head as it is now some way behind. I will 
look at that as soon as I have time so it can be considered for -next

Regards
Will
