Testing the new i915 driver

[Eric McCorkle]

I have positive initial results; however, my ports were badly out of date, so X only barely works (unrelated to the driver).  I'm blowing away all ports and rebuilding everything to try to get it working. 

The screen doesn't come back on after suspend, but that is a known issue with this device (Lenovo W540).
