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
