Created attachment 99418 [details, diff] x11-drm-20060608.ebuild.diff fix autoconf/automake issues, general cleanup. Unconfigured kernel check is handled by linux-mod/linux-info eclasses and there's nothing that could be done in the ebuild.
Well ... it spews the "no kernel found" message a few times, then goes into the unpack phase and spews it again, continues, spews it in compile phase again,continues, fails. I consider that to be buggy as it should abort after the first time it doesn't find a kernel (unlikely that suddenly a kernel pops up, eh? ;-) )

Shrug... Try this; meanwhile, someone might fix the autotools deps at least, has been broken for 2 months.

I can confirm this. x11-drm refuses to compile if automake-1.7.9-r1 is not installed.
I've checked jakub's patch into portage and ported it up to the newer versions. Thanks jakub. Sorry it took so long.
