Excuse my ignorance, but there is something I do not get. There are 
patches that are tested and working. Having them in an off-side 
repository does not help users at all, so what stops anyone from either 
applying these patches to the kernel, or alternatively removing the 
830/845 support from the current i915 driver and create a separate i830 
driver from the current sources with the patches applied?

The linux i830 kernel support should be working, and not in the broken 
state it is right now - the current state of the affair is not very helpful.

Thanks for keeping the repository, but that's not a solution, at least 
not for most of the remaining users of old hardware.

So long,
	Thomas
