[ubuntu-x] Help building intel driver

[Geir Ove Myhr]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to build the intel driver to test a proposed patch for bug
273306 in launchpad (patch at the upstream bug report at
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20463).

I have set up a machine with Jaunty, added
http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu to
/etc/apt/sources.list to get the latest supporting packages and run
`apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-intel` to get the development
packages necessary for building the intel driver.

After `git clone
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel` to
downlad the driver code, and `./autogen.sh` to generate a configure
script etc., `make` fails in xf86-video-intel/src/i830_memory.c:

../doltcompile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..   -I/usr/include/xorg

What am I missing? I'd rather not recompile the whole stack with mesa,
DRM, etc. since this is just to check a VGA detection bug.

I see intel driver in the xorg-edgers PPA is essentially the same
version. In the log it says
* Only added debian/ tree from origin/debian-experimental
  * + disable kernel mode setting (won't build)
If the kernel mode setting is the problem, how do I disable it?
