Hello Henri-Pierre,

I probably do not have a good solution for you, but can share my
experience.

I am running -CURRENT (r209884)/i386. I have a ThinkPad R50e, with the
following Intel graphics chip:

vgapci0: <VGA-compatible display> port 0x1800-0x1807 mem
0xe0000000-0xe7ffffff,0xd0000000-0xd007ffff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci0
agp0: <Intel 8285xM (85xGM GMCH) SVGA controller> on vgapci0
agp0: aperture size is 128M, detected 8060k stolen memory
drm0: <Intel i852GM/i855GM GMCH> on vgapci0
vgapci0: child drm0 requested pci_enable_busmaster
info: [drm] AGP at 0xe0000000 128MB
info: [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730

It used to work OK with the previous version of the Intel driver in
ports, but this is no longer the case.

Same for me.

That's my experience as well.

Which patch is that? I would like to try it too...

I am also using the vesa driver for now, but with success. I have the
following in my xorg.conf:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen 1"
    Device      "Videokartya"
    Monitor     "LCD"
    DefaultDepth 24

    Subsection "Display"
         Depth       8
         Modes       "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
         ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
         Depth	     16
         Modes	     "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
         ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
    Subsection "Display"
         Depth	     24
         Modes	     "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
         ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection

With this, I can get an OK picture, but no acceleration. Maybe this
helps to you as well?

But of course it would be really nice to get the Intel driver working
again...
