yum reports that libdrm and libdrm-devel are both up-to-date at version 
2.3.0. There does not appear to be an update to 2.4 for fedora 8. 
Version 2.4 does appear to exist for fedora 9.

Doing a git clone for drm and mesa, produces the same compile error as 
given above:  'no member named crtc'.... Huh??

I don't particularly want to mix repos, but is it possible to download 
the fedora 9 source rpm and rebuild on the machine to make a fedora 8 
capable rpm which I can install?  I have never tried that and do not 
wish to bork my working installation of mythtv, just to test the latest 
  intel driver (which is the maze door I came in through).
