yes, I'm pretty sure this is because xserver/include/config.h which
contains the _XSERVER64 define isn't included. The config.h in the Mesa
tree is included instead. I solved this in my tree by modifying the Mesa
sources, not that good. I guess it works in Xorg tree because it has a
dix-config.h instead of a config.h. We need to do something similar in
the kdrive tree.

You don't have this problem if you use my tarboll, right?

The above problem usually breaks GLX support so give glxinfo a try.

I've seen this too but it never happens for me when running fullscreen.
