is. Anyway, the most important reason to keep using i810 is that I can get my
laptop to suspend to RAM which i can't with the intel one.
Please, do not remove the package.
Additionally, there were a number of machines that didn't work at all with the -intel driver. Mine was one of those, although it now seems to be working fine. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to include a message upon install/update of the i810 driver that makes people aware of the current state of the two drivers.
