i810 driver, mergedfb and video crashes

[Mark Beierl]

Okay, I'm up and running with xorg 7.1.

My apologies, I guess I'm getting confused between xorg,
freedesktop.org, and the i810 driver.  Where is the wiki for compiling
i180?  I can't get it to config using autogen.sh.  Perhaps I'm just
clueless:

autoreconf2.50: Entering directory `.'
autoreconf2.50: configure.ac: not using Gettext
autoreconf2.50: running: aclocal  --output=aclocal.m4t
autoreconf2.50: `aclocal.m4' is created
autoreconf2.50: configure.ac: tracing
autoreconf2.50: running: libtoolize --copy
autoreconf2.50: `aclocal.m4' is unchanged
autoreconf2.50: running: /usr/bin/autoconf
autoreconf2.50: running: /usr/bin/autoheader
autoreconf2.50: running: automake --add-missing --copy
Makefile.am:24: BUILD_LINUXDOC does not appear in AM_CONDITIONAL

unconditionally
automake: src/xvmc/Makefile.am: warning: automake does not support
libI810XvMC_la_LDFLAGS being defined conditionally
autoreconf2.50: automake failed with exit status: 1

Regards,
Mark
