I don't know why. but the kernel package readme (/usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.gz) also suggests not to build the kernel there. Also the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) says that source code may be placed under /usr/src only for reference purposes and should not be build within. Again I don't understand why exactly.

Re: odd xorg-video-intel problem
I pulled the latest xf86-video-intel source from freedesktop.org, and it magically cured the symptom. My Xorg.0.log still shows the same error entries as before: (EE) intel(0): Unable to write to SDVOCTRL_E for SDVOB Slave 0x70. So, at least they are not the culprit.

It presents a list of all available modes as determined by xorg. This includes probed modes that may not be specified in the xorg.conf. Ah, I see. [...] This custom modeline I entered into xrg.conf with a names like 1440x900_75. I think the _ was critical as it put that modeline at the top of the list which makes it the one xorg chooses. That's interesting.
