We all know nightly is rather broken with 830. Nothing new here. I
suggest just trying my alm_fixes5 branch.

Excuse my ignorance, but there is something I do not get. There are patches that are tested and working. Having them in an off-side repository does not help users at all, so what stops anyone from either applying these patches to the kernel, or alternatively removing the 830/845 support from the current i915 driver and create a separate i830 driver from the current sources with the patches applied?

The linux i830 kernel support should be working, and not in the broken state it is right now - the current state of the affair is not very helpful.

Thanks for keeping the repository, but that's not a solution, at least not for most of the remaining users of old hardware.

So long,
