Excellent, thanks!

The last upload I mentioned on the first message of the RFA includes
upstream's r842. Since it fixes some bugs I would recommend you to get
an exception from the RT.
It's a shame that squeeze won't support the VX855 and VX875 chipsets, though.

Like Julien said, the experimental branches are obsolete. The current
public git repo is actually a bit messy because my last upload did not
include some changes that were pushed to it (that's what happens when
you forget to git fetch...)

I guess somebody from the X team can help you with that, but I can
always try to help too (the team lacks a lot of man power.)
