[Intel-gfx] Driver update install problem

[Robert Simmons]

I have hit a wall in trying to update the xf86-video-intel driver to 2.14.0.
 After installing the 2.14.0 version of the driver all I see is a black
screen with a mouse cursor after booting.

First off I am using the following system:
Acer Aspire 3680-2633
Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller
driver version 2.14.0
Kubuntu 10.10 w/KDE 4.5.5
libdrm 2.4.23 (manualy compiled and installed to /usr/local b/c the ubuntu
package was 2.4.21)
kernel 2.6.35-24-generic
2GB system memory
128MB allocated to video (DVMT disabled)

The only error in the ./configure output is "No package 'xorg-macros' found"
(see output below) and the only errors for make are "may be used
uninitialized in this function" for a few files (also see output below).
Finally I did a make install after changing the filename of the old driver
to .old.

When I reboot all I see is black with a mouse cursor.  The cursor actually
changes from the arrow to the input cursor when I mouse over where my
username or password boxes would normally be in KDM's login screen.  It also
accepts my password and logs me in all to a black screen.  Once logged in I
see a one inch by a half inch blue rectangle in the right center of the
black screen.  It is just about the shade of the plain vanilla light blue
KDE 4.5.5 desktop.  From here I have to just reboot the machine and change
back to the old drivers.

The main reason I am performing this upgrade is that I have been having a
few display issues in rekonq and elsewhere that from what I have read in
KDE's bugtracker are solved when using the 2.14.0 intel driver.

Here is the output from configure and make:
