i845 is still officially unsupported, however I backported some code from XFree86 CVS that allows some users to now use 2D. XFree86 CVS has newer code now than when I backported, but the new code is incompatible with 4.2.0 and is not possible to backport. It'll be supported in 4.3.0 when it comes out, and also available for play in rawhide before long. -- Mike A.
