Someone's got to do the work. The xfree86 SVN repository trunk is available for checkout as it has been for about 2 years now. If an i915 patch is prepared, works, and has been signed off on by i810/i830/i845/i855/i865 as well as i915 users, then the patch submitter and these testers can join me in making a case to the Release Managers for pushing this into testing-proposed-updates (if xfree86 is frozen by then). But before those things happen, there's no case to make. So, please -- if you want to see this in sarge, be part of the solution. I have absolutely no problem with interested parties coordinating their efforts on this mailing list (debian-x) -- that's what it's here for, and I'll offer as much advice as a PowerMac user can on such things. :) -- G.
