Yes, of course.  My response was about the Debian packaging of SDL.  The
Debian maintainer has dutifully chosen to build SDL with X.

Probably, but this is not an interesting problem.  SDL works fine on XO
with X-Windows.  X-Windows will always be running on the OLPC software
builds.  I see no benefit in turning it off.
