First of all, thanks for all your help.  I really appreciate this.

It's unstable/experimental.

I've been all through that; I've even wiped out all my xorg debs and
reinstalled just to make sure.

What appears to be happening is that NOUVEAU_PRIVATE is #defined as
_X_HIDDEN, which is #defined in /usr/include/X11/Xfuncproto.h.  For
whatever reason, autogen.sh is not picking up any of the header files in
/usr/include.

If I try to follow the directions in DebianTips, the compile fails because
it cannot find the definition of _X_HIDDEN.

It's a header file misconfiguration somewhere on my system, I guess.

You are an adult when you realize that everyone's an idiot sometimes. You
are wise when you include yourself.
