[ale] X server permissions

[vaidhy at loonys.net (Vaidhy Mayilrangam)]

I think what is it complaining about is the lack of UnixPtys.. I think you 
need to compile the kernel to add support for it (you can also do it as a 
module)

IIRC, it should be under the character devices..

PS: I think the error message refers to /usr/src/linux/Documentation (i.e 
whereever you untarred/unzipped the kernel source)
