Just a heads up.

While the configure script allows compilation against xorg-server 1.6.2, 
the code depends on the xorg-server #define 
MONITOR_EDID_COMPLETE_RAWDATA, which was not introduced until after 1.6.2.

This was solved in the intel driver by adding the following

/* remain compatible to xorg-server 1.6 */
#ifndef MONITOR_EDID_COMPLETE_RAWDATA
#define MONITOR_EDID_COMPLETE_RAWDATA EDID_COMPLETE_RAWDATA
#endif

In addition, the usage is not consistent. The radeon_output.c file and 
the atombios_output.c file use the deprecated EDID_COMPLETE_RAWDATA. 
However, the drmmode_display.c file uses MONITOR_EDID_COMPLETE_RAWDATA.
