Basically it seems like it's supposed to be a rewrite for i810-supported cards that will also support the new GMA cards as well. I suppose if you are curious about submitting bug reports to which project, my guess is the -intel driver is the preferred one to push fixes/testing toward. - -- Coleman Kane -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHLjzEcMSxQcXat5cRApu1AJ0QBwYMa96pZ0Cw4rA3vyjbZycHsACfYwQu beKH3e+Re1Dz7MvZraXMHzU= =juKF -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
