Bug#549863: 855GM support gone upstream?

[Riku Voipio <riku.voipio@iki.fi>]

Hi,

Similar problems for me too (Thinkpad X40 with 855GM). xserver hasn't been
stable or working ever since 2.3.2 (lenny version). None of the kernel updates
have given relief either. At the moment the only solution is to keep the lenny
version of xserver-xorg-video-intel:

echo xserver-xorg-video-intel hold|sudo dpkg --set-selections

Since Intel is apparently happy to make multiple major releases of
their driver without working 855GM support, perhaps it is time to admit that
the hardware isn't supported anymore by upstream?

Howabout packaging the lenny version of xserver-xorg-video-intel as
xserver-xorg-video-intel-legacy to give 855GM users a working X in squeeze?
