Yes, egl_dri2 intentionally doesnt support EGL_MESA_screen_surface.
The plan was to deprecate (and later remove) that one,
and it replace with an egl surface type for gbm.

There are already patches for this on the wayland devel list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2012-January/001856.html

In the meantime you may want to get src/egl/opengl/eglkms.c working.

The gbm dri backend and egl_dri2 code both use a dri_screen, and share that.
When gbm_dri loads a dri driver, those require some _glapi_* symbols.
In a non-shared-glapi configuration they are either in libGL, libGLESv2, etc
But we cant link gbm against any of those, since the application
should choose which one to link to, thats why we need to link against
the shared glapi.
