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.
