intel driver 'make' error

[Jerone Young]

You have make sure you have all the proper xorg dev files installed.
I'm not sure what ones since Ubuntu takes care of those for me when I
do an " sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-intel" it takes care
of all that for me.

Trying the build today it works perfectly fine. Built without issue.
You should probably close your bugzilla, and figure out what xorg dev
files you need.

Steps to take are simple
1) Grab 2D driver here using git
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html

2) Now go into the folder and run the following commands:
   ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr    (this should be correct for gentoo ..
I think .. if not change --prefix=)
   make
   make install

That's it
