If it a local problem, I dunno why because I access nearly all other git
tree on the planet including one located on the same IP address drm git
versus mesa git (git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa vs
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/drm)

Good. Will try today again.

BTW: I managed to build a mixed kernel (master 2.6.31-rc2-git4 + 2 DRM
directory from nouveau kernel git). It compiled and worked as long as I
relaunched the X kernel to use again the nouveau driver instead of nv
(and access the nouveau module). I then got a sync out of range on the
monitor. Removing the KMS mode fixed this but I'm not sure if it is not
due to the left over vesa framebuffer option or wrong computation of
monitor capabilities and bad video mode settings.

I need to remove the vesa framebuffer, put the KMS option gain and
report. It was just too late last night to try this.
