I hope this driver can replace the need for the old i915 repository maintained by a community member. If this is the case, expect xorg-server 1.6 to be moving to extra soon.
This driver does work a lot better. Still slower than pure framebuffer and some artefacts but indeed usable. When moving this to extra with the new kernel we should post an anouncement, that users of at least 855GM (and maybe others) have to change to that legacy driver as xf86-video-intel does not produce any usefull output at all; X is completly broken. -- Pierre Schmitz Clemens-August-Straße 76 53115 Bonn Telefon 0228 9716608 Mobil 0160 95269831 Jabber pierre@jabber.archlinux.de WWW http://www.archlinux.de
