I for one, thank you for all of your hard work, time and dedication. For
one person to handle such a mess is, impressive, to say the least.
I personally feel there's not enough thanks and praise for all your work.

I'm very sad to hear this, as for now I'm stuck with a
vgapci0@pci0:0:2:0: class=0x030000 card=0x25821043 chip=0x25828086
rev=0x04 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = '82915G/GV/GL, 82910GL Integrated Graphics Device'
I also have a box with an i810 in it.
I can't code/port to save a drowning kitten's life, but if you need a
tester, I'd be willing, as long as rolling back to the "working" Xorg is
possible, and there's no damage done to the hardware, though I may need
a bit of handholding.
Robert, feel free to contact me on/off-list (not subscribed, but read
daily) if there's anything I can do to help.
Thank again for all your work.
