building a kernel-patch for DRM with xfree?

[Nicolas Boullis <nboullis@debian.org>]

Hi!

I am not subsrived to debian-x, so please cc: replies to me. (However, 
mutt should be doing the right thing about this.)

I've been trying to use Daniel Stone's pre-4.3 xfree packages (I used to 
say that I worked with him, but I did so little that it is not fair), 
and I had a problem with DRM.
Recent versions of xfree need some recent versions of the DRM modules, 
that are not in the standard kernel or kernel-sources. (I had this 
problem with the i830 module that was not up-to-date in the 2.4.20 
kernel.)
So I build a quickly-hacked kernel-patch out of the xfree86 sources, to 
build DRM modules with the kernel, with versions matching those required 
by xfree86.
Do you think it might be a good idea to make such a patch alongside with 
xfree? If you think this might be a good idea, I'd be happy to help.

Regards,

Nicolas
