Hello ,

are there any plans to add G33 / Q33 / Q35 chipsets support for the
intelfb driver ? Is this driver still maintained ?

( I'm not really sure who maintains this driver so I've add peoples to
CC I saw worked on it , I've also added Wang Zhenyu to CC while he added
this support for AGP )

Intel fb is unmaintained (well I've done trivial fixes in the past), and
I'd rather not add new chipset support to it.

We are working (RH and Intel) on a new kernel modesetting layer which
will allow fbs integrated with proper memory management and support all
intel hw,

Good news :)

Are there any patch(es) / git tree one could try out ?

See the modesetting-101 branch of git://git.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm.  
It's a bit rough in spots but the i915 driver should be pretty close to 
feature parity with the Intel X driver at this point.

Thx , I will try out the tree.

The main problem with intelfb is it trips up the userspace X drivers a
lot and generally break things..

Really ? I didn't knew that.

Yeah it's been an ongoing source of problems...
