I used the following in a file in xorgconf.d/ on one of my boxes
which ran a low-end radeon variant where glamor improved the power
consumption (Aruba, if my memory is correct - the motherboard seems
to have died). You'll need to change at least the Driver.
# turn glamor on
Section "Device"
Identifier "radeon"
Driver "ati"
Option "AccelMethod" "glamor"
EndSection
But I think you may be missing a dependency - the version of glamor
in xorg-server-1.17 uses libepoxy, and the only reference to a
glamor lib in my logs is for libglamoregl.so in the xorg-server's
modules.
Alternatively, if by 'configure' you meant "which options do I pass
to ./configure" the answer is '--enable-glamor'.
