[Description Martin Luessi 2011-02-27 21:40:36 UTC]

xf86-video-intel-2.14.0 (exact same error with xf86-video-intel-2.13.0) fails to compile with the following error (full output below):

..
intel_display.c:52: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'drmEventContext'
..

I have the following relevant packages installed:
media-libs/mesa-7.9.1
x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.23
x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.4
sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.36-r5

I have spent some time trying to find out what is causing this problem but so far I have not had any success. Any tips on how to resolve this bug are highly appreciated.

I marked this "bug" as closed; it was caused by orphaned header files in /usr/local/include/. The header files must have been there from the time when I first got this laptop (~4 years ago) and installed unstable libdrm, mesa, and intel driver packages without using portage (by now I'm smarter and write my own ebuilds for things like that).

Anyways, I hope I didn't waste anyones time with this.

Closing with the proper resolution.

Thanks for finding the cause and letting us know.
