Re: i915 module does not find 82865G if configured as secondary

[Tempura San <tempura.san@gmail.com>]

I've integrated your patches into the i915 driver I am using.
If I just rebuild the module the result is the same as with Daniel's
suggestion.

As there is also a change in vgaarb.c - which is not a module - I need
to do a full build and check again.

If this is not fixing the behaviour either, is there a possibility to
use a recent i915 driver with this kernel?

Yours,
Tempura
