Hi all --

I have a Sony Vaio PCG-R505ECX with the Intel 82830 CGC video system, which I have recently upgraded to Debian "lenny", and was having some strange video corruption issues.

As a sanity check on the hardware, I wanted to try a different video driver for the same chipset, and soon found my way to the driver at http://www.intellinuxgraphics.com, whose latest stable release is the "xf86-video-intel-2.6.0.tar.bz2" download.

This file would initially not configure, due to a requirement for libdrm version 2.4.4, but the same page provides the tarball for this version of the library, and it built fine on my system, using "./configure --prefix=/usr/local; make; make install".

Subsequent to this, the xf86-video-intel-2.6.0 tarball would then configure, but it would not build.  The makefile gets an error attempting to build i830_lvds.c.  The error, starting from the build line for the problem file, is:

  Debian "lenny" has version 7.1 of the X.org server, and provides the associated header files and so forth in a "-dev" package.

  Is this just too old of an X.org installation to build this driver?  If so, can you point me to an older version of the driver?  The chipset in question is rather old, so I don't imagine there's a real requirement for new software, but I was unable to find any archives of previous xf86-video-intel tarballs which might work.
