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.

modesetting-101 does not compile on current git , NOPAGE_SIGBUS , nopage
and friends gone.

Yeah the DRM tree doesn't have a full kernel included, so it'll
occasionally be out-of-sync.  You could try a different kernel version
(it almost always works with the last stable release of Linux) or merging
DRM master into modesetting-101.  Assuming there are no conflicts that
might also fix things. :)

Hehe yes , I noticed :)

I've fixed myself local but it died later with:

WARNING: "i2c_bit_add_bus" [/work/git/drm/linux-core/i915.ko] undefined!

I didn't got time to investigate this one.

That can happen if the i2c stuff isn't loaded before the DRM module.  Usually 
depmod picks this up, but if you have multiple versions lying around it may 
pick the wrong one.  You can still load i2c-core etc. by hand though, and 
then 'insmod i915 modeset=1'.

Right , got it to load at least that way.

It does not work here , with modeset=1 box hangs when staring X , without box magically reboots :-)

I guess I need to test it on 2.6.25 sometimes this week.
