RRPropertyValuePtr compile problem for git ATI driver

[Michael Shell]

I've been trying to compile the ATI driver (xf86-video-ati) from git
(using gcc 4.1.2 on a ix86 Linux box) against an Xserver 1.4
(xorg-server-1.4) source tree. Configure indicates that
"X server >= 1.3" should be acceptable. I haven't tried
it with xorg-server from git ... yet.

However, when compiling it I run into:


make[2]: Entering directory `/home/lfs/sources/Xorg_new/UPZ/xf86-video-ati-snapshot-2008-06-05/src'

Searching for a similar case, I found one with respect to the Intel
driver in early 2007:

I assume that was fixed, but the cause of the problem and its solution
were never posted.



  Thanks in advance for any help,
