Not quite. I tried to cimpile intel 2.9.1 driver and got this:

I compiled mine w/o any problem on Slackware 13.0 with xorg 1.6.3 (which is required for newer intel drivers). Did you run ` configure --prefix=/usr ' beforehand?

Yes, I tried --prefix but in vain. I also have Slackware 13 with xorg 1.6.3. I successfully compiled 2.9.0 before. :(

According to xorg wiki, for radeon the build order should be macros->proto->xserver->libdrm->ddx(videodriver)->mesa. Try upgrading libdrm to 2.4.15 before compiling the new driver for your intel card. Don't rebuild the server, just libdrm. You can use this script to play with libdrm and step back if anything goes wrong:

I was able to easily build + upgrade to xf86-video-intel-2.9.1-i486-1 (of mention I am using libdrm-2.4.14, and mesa-7.6) package no problem on my dell inspiron 1100 laptop (intel 845G) using src2pkg. this time KDE4 comes up to the black + white bubbles background, and goes thru the startup icons, but again after completing it's flashing of each KDE4 startup icon, ending with the K - I then get a black screen (on my other non-intel-based video hardware computers with slack13, I never get that black screen, it just fades to my desktop. this blackscreen issue is ONLY on my intel boxen). I tried using the following in my xorg.conf to no avail;

Code:

Option "Tiling" "false"

I also tried no xorg.conf, and X -configure, then that just xorg.conf.new plain-jane to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but same issues!

sooo, this had me thinking maybe, just maybe it's a KDE4 thing... so I upgraded to slackware-current x86, which has kde 4.3.2 - but, same deal! X starts up, gets the KDE4 bubble background (blue & white this time with KDE 4.3.2), after finishing it comes up to a black screen, yet I can move and see my mouse cursor just fine. so, no fixie for me yet. still looking for that illusive/magic FIX for my intel 845G + KDE4 issue. I can say this tho, using any other window manager works, and actually seems to be quicker with this new driver = 2.9.1.

thanks for the help everyone... I will continue to work on this, if anyone else has pointers let me know!

PS: I notice after I startx with KDE4 and it hits that black background, and I then hit CONTROL+BACKSPACE to get to a prompt again... upon checking dmesg I see the following OVER & OVER again (which Im thinking has something to do with the intel xorg driver crapping out?) ;;

Code:

[drm:i915_gem_execbuffer] *ERROR* Execbuf while wedged

then at the bottom after the above repeats ~30+times, dmesg shows this

Code:

[drm:i915_gem idle] *ERROR* hardware wedged

mtrr: no MTRR for e0000000,8000000

Well, I've re-checked, and I am actually able to build both with or without specifying the /usr prefix.

I would definitely say you have a wrong prefix somewhere in your build, or, possibly some files missing OR dislocated, even. Wrong symlink or "fancy" layout in your /usr filesystem?? Some xorg packages missing?? No offence, but do you actually have a /usr/include/X11 dir on your system?

I've noticed before how Slack's symlinking "up n dirs" for the X11 subsystem may get incorrect. Unfortunately, can't remember the details, so can't be more specific).

On the Slackware-13.0, the shmint.h (which you have) belongs to the xorg-server-1.6.3-i486-1 package, and shmstr.h would belong to the xextproto-7.0.5-noarch-1 package.

Thanks a lot! I forgot I`ve been tinkering with my xorg recently when I was trying to upgrade to 1.7. I failed but some of packages remained upgraded, among them I had xextproto-7.1.1 instead of xextproto-7.0.5. When I downgraded I was able to compile intel driver at last (by the way: I was sure that having upgraded package doesn`t hurt. I was wrong apparently).

For all interested in testing it:
http://advamacs.com/pub/intel-slackware/

Now I understand why I was probably unable to build mesa7.6 either.
