Re: LFS 6.5, 6.7, 6.8 (I have upgraded Xorg in 6.5)

Hi,

Updated Mesa from 7.9 to 7.11. Dependency libdrm_nouveau, which can be found in 
drm-2.4.26. Other problems had to be solved.

1. drm-2.4.26:

configure was generated with ./autogen.sh.
Two more parameters had to be passed to configure:

./configure --prefix=$XORG_PREFIX --build=x86 --enable-nouveau-experimental-api

2. Mesa-7.11 (I always use MesaLib and MesaGlut)

MesaLib needs LLVM (it is well documented in the internet) to build a 
particular version of gallium driver (if I remember correctly, the driver 300). 
In order to circumvent that, a new parameter had to be passed to configure:
./configure $XORG_CONFIG --enable-xcb --with-gallium-drivers=i915

In order for the script to run without exiting on error, I changed 
MesaLib-7.9-add_xdemos-1.patch

I have to investigate why glxgears and glxinfo are giving segmentation fault in 
LFS-6.7. Perhaps xorg-server is older and I do not remember if the problem 
existed before the upgrade.

Please, I will be greateful hearing any advice for simplifying these builds.
