I have been building 2.4.0 in f8 without problem. I recall needing to
install a number -devel type RPMs but did not keep a record of what I added.

For drm I have:

libdrm-2.3.0-7.fc8
libdrm-devel-2.3.0-7.fc8

For xserver I have:

xorg-x11-server-sdk-1.3.0.0-91
xorg-x11-server-utils-7.3-2.fc8
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-91
