Yeah, unfortunately we have several copies of the DRM interface header 
lying around:  one in the DDX driver, three in the Mesa tree and one in 
the DRM tree.  You might say "why isn't the DRM copy the canonical 
one?", to which I answer "It should be.", but we're not quite there 
yet.  Until then, you'll have to deal with stuff like this:

#ifndef HAVE_I915_FLIP

#define DRM_VBLANK_FLIP 0x8000000

typedef struct drm_i915_flip {
   int planes;
} drm_i915_flip_t;
...
#endif

(Yes those are three space indents.  Ouch.)

I'm about to change this again, but in the meantime things should work 
if you update your libdrm installation.
