Hi,

OpenVG is implemented as a state tracker for Gallium3D, so only
Gallium3D drivers are able to use it. Pineview is i915, so in order to
use OpenVG you'll have to use the Gallium/i915 driver that isn't
maintained by Intel. (Intel maintains the "classic"-style i915 driver)

I'd try to configure with these options:

./configure --with-dri-drivers= --with-gallium-drivers=i915
--enable-gallium-llvm --enable-openvg --enable-gallium-egl

(--enable-gallium-llvm gives i915 better performance, but adds the
dependency of LLVM)

You might be able to avoid some dependencies by adding

--disable-opengl --disable-gles1 --disable-gles2 --disable-dri --disable-glx

but I'm not really sure how Gallium works, so you might need DRI to
get any acceleration.

libdrm built with Intel support, which Gallium/i915 needs, does indeed
depend on libpciaccess. libpciaccess is a rather small library though.
I wouldn't expect trouble with it.

Matt
