Description Anson Gardner 2007-03-27 11:22:20 UTC 
I'm running debian testing, whose kernel version doesn't quite support the Intel i946gz chipset, so I'm running 2.6.19 vanilla, and the video drivers (drm, mesa and xf86-video-intel) from freedesktop.org. I ran "git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel" today (March 27).

I am not a programmer, so if there is anything useful that I haven't provided, please let me know. The error occurs running make against the xf86-video-intel sources.

Thanks for your time

Are you building against a current version of the server?  You must either have a current server installed, use --with-xserver-source appropriately pointing at current server source, or use the distributed tarball.

I knew I left out some information: in order to get the xf86-video-intel/autogen.sh script to complete, I had to download the xserver sources into the parent dir. Once I had done that, the script would finish without asking for xserver sources >= version 1.3. I ran git-clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/xserver to obtain the source. 

As a test, I have re-run the autogen.sh script on a clean source tree using the --with-xserver-source=/path/to/xserver-source switch. The script output was the same as before, and make produced the same error.

Thanks for looking into this.

no, what version of the xserver do you have installed?  7.2 or newer is required.

"Are you building against a current version of the server?  You must either have a current server installed, use --with-xserver-source appropriately pointing at current server source, or use the distributed tarball."

"no, what version of the xserver do you have installed?  7.2 or newer is
required."

I hope I've not been wasting your time. 7.1 is installed; what I had read online led me to believe that I could compile the new driver with the 7.2 xserver sources using the --with-xserver-source switch. Your first reply (above) seemed to indicate that this was acceptable.

Is this not the case?

Thanks

Anson, are you stilling seeing this error with the latest driver?
Comment 6 Michael Fu 2007-08-02 18:29:09 UTC 
need to have right build version. we can't reproduce this bug on upstream driver.
Comment 7 Eric Anholt 2007-08-02 18:31:39 UTC 
You need to be building against server 1.3, not 1.2 (7.2)
