What current support 2D/3D can one have using the current sarge/sid Xfree server for this chipset ?FYI, this chipset is used in professional desktop sold lately (Dell Optiplex Gx280, HP/Compaq 7000 series).XFree86 does not support this, only X.Org.
Ok.- On a technical point of view, is backporting the driver from X.org to Debian X doable ?
- If it is backported, will it hit sarge ?- in [1] Branden called for porter and in [2] he more or less called for tester (regression etc...)
I have just checked and I've access to i810E/i815/i845G/i855GM/i865G and i915G graphics cards at work. If someone from this list is willing to do the porting, I'm willing to do the regression tests on thoses boxes.
I do feel this driver is important to get in, because the mobo using this chipset have been hitting the professional market for the last couple of month...
