This makes it not possible for distributions to ship kernels that need
to work on both old and new X versions....

It just disables to have both builtin, no both modular. So it shouldn't
be a problem for you, but I wonder what the point is..

no, it'll stop distributions from shipping kernels with both drivers
built-in, modular kernels will work fine, X picks the driver to load, if
people are building in the drivers then I believe they know what they are
at...
Having both drivers built-in is obviously broken and actually doesn't work
at all (someone reported it in an Xorg bug...)

ok fair enough; ignore my objection

they both work with the exact same hardware, when X starts up it traverses
the loaded DRMs asking for them by PCI ID, as both these drivers live on
the same set of PCIIDs (well the 915 has some new ones), X doesn't know
how to distinguish between them, so it picks the first one that says that
PCI ID is me, and in X.org with the i915 it picks the i830 driver and it
gets a bit shirty..
I suppose Tungsten Graphics could have done something extra (the famous
layer of indirection type stuff) but believed a clean breaak was best...
This patch just stops people shooting themselves in the foot ....
Dave.
