The driver works with my machine. Both as a module and statically linked.

Support is partial/incomplete, because
  - hwcursor does not work, i. e. I haven't managed yet to
    derive the special code for hwcursor on 915G from
    the XFree86/Xorg-code. That is why I'm hard-wiring the
    value of hwcusror to "0" on 915G.
  - DPMS does nor work properly, but I do not know whether this
    is because of my incomplete patch, because of my
    hardware or because of the kernel (version).

Furthermore I think that support for the mobila variant 915GM,
should be inlcuded, but I haven't got the hardware.

I would be happy to get feedback from a user that has tried the patched
and the unpatched "intelfb" with current 2.6.10 on 830/855/865 to
see what is wrong with DPMS and from a user that has the 915GM.

The "final" patch should support "hwcusor", "DPMS" and 915GM.
