[Intel-gfx] Intel 2.7.0 + kernel 2.6.30-rc2

Hi,

'Twas brillig, and Claudio M. Camacho at 16/04/09 19:28 did gyre and gimble:

One of my Mandriva colleagues just mentioned a similar sounding problem 
to me on IRC. I'm not 100% sure as he wasn't as detailed as your 
description but I think it could be the same problem.

I had a look at the git changelog as our 903 version worked fine for him 
and there have only been 3 commits that actually changed any code since 
then! It seems fro him, reverting this commit fixed things:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?h=2.7&id=6f48379fb8e5997b4b2098b7df5bed399bc559f6

YMMV.
