Bug#257062: Please include the new intel driver

Well, essentially, a patch would need to be prepped that resembled
debian/patches/000_stolen_from_xorg_nv_driver.diff (in the Debian
xfree86
source package), but updated the i810 driver directory instead.
The bad news is that no more updates to xfree86 for sarge are planned.
A case can of course be made for this hardware support, but at this
point
I'd need to involve the release management team.
On balance (and not just because I have a lab full of machines with i915
chipsets to look after), I think that we really ought to try to get this
into sarge. It won't be long before there are a hell of a lot of those
chips out there. Even if we release Etch a year after Sarge, that's
still
a significant lag for a significant number of (potential) users -- and
hands up who thinks we actually *will* release then...
So, count me in favour, and let me know if you want any testing done
(on i810 or i915).
Cheers,
Nick
