Problem building the whole X stack, results in no i915.ko

[Joel Feiner]

Post the output from the "Building DRM" section.  If you forgot to do
that, you won't have a i915.ko.  Also, make sure it can find your
kernel.  You might have to pass LINUXDIR=/usr/src/linux-blah-blah-blah
when you invoke make.
