A little bit of thread stleainng here, but the question is about intel 
ans xvmc.

I am trying to build the xvmc branch of the intel driver togther with X 
version 1.4..However, the xserver build fails down in /GL/glx on 
glxdri.c  because it cannot find a number of include files...more 
specifically glapitable.h and glapi.h

These files are not on my system and I have very carefully gone through 
and installed/updated all X requirements according to the xor wiki 
modular developers guide.

Anyone got a clue?
