We were waiting for 2.13.0 to move to testing (which has now happened), I guess we'll upload soonish. The next upload will also probably disable shadow on 865G (which is apparently less broken than 845 and 855), and have some version of http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=455f2939a661764ebb8d1747d44e16a0a8937808 (I had a simpler patch to do this which just called pci_device_has_kernel_driver() from intel_pci_probe(); since we're autoloading i915 from udev we don't need to modprobe it from X.) Let me know if you'd like to work on getting that ready so I can cross it out of my todo list ;) Cheers, Julien
