Well, X is broken for me:

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so: undefined symbol:
resVgaShared
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/intel_drv.so
(II) UnloadModule: "intel"
(EE) Failed to load module "intel" (loader failed, 7)

This is on i686 with the intel driver from xf86-video-intel-legacy.  I
tried rebuildding the driver but it failed. Does anyone know what
package contains xf86Resources.h ?  Or was this include file removed
from X?

I tried downgrading the kernel and using the lts one but it's not
kernel related. I haven't tried anything else so far.
