Hi,

Initial support for i915 based graphics cards were introduced last April
and enabled in the Makefile in November resulting an i915-ready agp
driver, but the drm subsystem was not working. Thanks to A. Popov the
problem of drm was solved and the changes were put to the cvs tree
(i915_drv.c 1.3, drm_drv.c 1.4) in December. In the last few months this
code remained in the MAIN branch resulting that 6.1 users can get only a
half working driver for their i915 based systems.
I have been using a patched driver on my 6.X box for almost 4 months
without any problem, so I really do not understand why this part of the
drm code was not MFC'd into the RELENG_6 branch. Is there any reason for
 doing so?

Thanks, Laci
