building xf86-video-intel against an older X server

[Julien Cristau]

Hi all,

I'd like to get xf86-video-intel included in an update to Debian stable
(http://wiki.debian.org/EtchAndAHalf), which only has xserver 1.1.1.
The intel driver tarballs ship with a copy of some xserver code in the
src/modes and src/parser directories.  However that code comes from
xserver master, and doesn't build against older headers.  Some examples:
- MODE_BANDWIDTH in the ModeStatus enum is only available on master, but
  used in modes/xf86Modes.c
- the MonRec structure has a maxPixClock field in 1.4 and master, but
  not in 1.3 and earlier;  it's used in modes/xf86EdidModes.c
What's the best solution for this?  Copying the code from xorg-server
1.3 instead, thus making sure it builds, but possibly missing some bug
fixes?  Or hacking the xserver code in master to keep building against
headers from 1.1?
Any advice appreciated :)

Cheers,
Julien
