It is?  The last commit I see on FdO's gitweb is 10 days ago.  Perhaps I'm=
=20
not looking in the right place?  I was looking at the modesetting-keithp=20
branch.

http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=3Dxorg/driver/xf86-video-intel.git;a=3Dsho=
rtlog;h=3Dmodesetting-keithp

I see two other branches that look relevant, the most recent of which=20
is 'modesetting'.  I'll give that one a try instead.

Cool.  Thanks for the pointer.  I'll give it a try against Xorg 1.1.1 first=
=20
(since I'd rather not replace more software than I need to).  If it doesn't=

work, would you be interested in bug reports?  And if so, what information=

(aside from the usual X log, description, etc.) would you like me to=20
include?
