+Requirements:
+
+- A Linux kernel version 2.6.11 or newer is required.
+  Unlike Sysprof 0.9, version 0.91 should work fine on SMP systems.
+
+- GTK+ 2.6.0 or newer is required
+
+
+
+Compiling:
+
+- Sysprof must be compiled with the same compiler that compiled the 
+  kernel it is going to be used with. Usually this is just the the
+  system compiler, but if you have upgraded your kernel it is
+  possible that the new kernel was compiled with a different compiler

+Debugging symbols
+
 - The programs you want to profile should have debugging symbols, or
   you won't get much usable information. On a Fedora Core system,
-  installing the relevant -debuginfo packages should do the trick.
+  installing the relevant -debuginfo package should be sufficient.
 
-- To get usable data on the X server:
+
+- X server.
+
+  The X server as shipped by most distributions uses its own home-rolled
+  module loading system and Sysprof has no way to deal with that, so if you
+  run sysprof with your normal X serverr you won't get any information about
+  how time is spent inside the X server.
+
+  To fix this you have to compile your own X server:
 
   (1) Compile the X server to use ".so" modules:
 
 	- Uncomment the line "MakeDllModules	Yes" in 
-	  xc/config/cf/xorgsite.def
+	  xc/config/cf/xorgsite.def. 
+
+	  If you are compiling the CVS version of the X server
+	  (the one that will eventually become 7.0), then this is
+	  already the default.
