intel driver 'make' error

[Richard Lynch]

I'm using the i810 driver for a Sony Vaio VGN-TXN17P, and I've
documented my experiences with that here:
http://phpbootcamp.com/articles/vgn_txn17p.htm

I'm still stuck with the external VGA and a dead LFP once I startx.

And worse, ctrl-alt-backspace or any other kind of exit leaves me with
a DEAD laptop that has to be cold-power-off-hold-buttoned :-(

I'm trying to switch to the "intel" video driver to achieve a
dual-head system.

I've done 'emerge --sync; emerge portage; emerge xorg-server' to get
up to xserver 1.3, which is required by the "intel" driver.

I downloaded the driver and ran the "autogen.sh" script included.

Next, I did "make" and got this:

I've submitted a bug report here, since I'm pretty sure that even if I
screwed something else up by doing something stoopid, that the make
should have worked...

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13899

I'm not quite sure why it's compiling an i810 driver, when I already
have one of those...

Perhaps I could hack the Makefile and get rid of that and just get the
newer intel driver?

Or perhaps this i810 is a totally different thing and is a subset of
the intel driver?

Of course, in a perfect world, somebody here would tell me exactly how
to fargle the frabinshobber and it would all just work as expected.
:-)

Any insights much appreciated!
