Bug#345914: The freedesktop.org patch for i8xx works perfectly

["H. S. Teoh" <hsteoh@quickfur.ath.cx>]

Hi, 

I've just applied the patch from:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6750

against the latest Debian source (xserver-xorg-core) and it works
perfectly on my i850 chipset. I strongly urge the X maintainers to add
this patch to the official Debian package before the next release---it's
a showstopper for people with these Intel chipsets. This particular
patch is non-intrusive; it detects exactly those chipsets that need to
be fixed, and nothing else.

For those who wish to test the fix (or need a fixed package to use with
their Intel chipsets), I've built an (unofficial!) package for i386
here:

http://eusebeia.dyndns.org/~hsteoh/debian/xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-9_i386.deb

Hope this helps.
