Guido & Alan,

I hope that once a fully "compliant" Xorg 7.6 XNV implementation is in place with the \
additional kernel-side DRM/KMS updates from the Intel/Oracle team(s), we can test it \
and work towards a fully supported Intel 2.14.0 driver as well as the Mesa 7.10.x \
Intel DRI driver updates. 

Thanks Alan for your work and support as well,

~ Ken Mays
