[Intel-gfx] Adapting old i830 driver to recognize Pineview

[louis at museresearch.com]

Hi all,
  We are developing pro audio gear based on an Intel Atom board which uses
the Pineview G chipset.  Unfortunately, our OS is based on Fedora 8
which only has X.org 1.3.0.  I was wondering if anyone knew whether it
would be feasible to alter FC8's xf86-video-i810-1.6.5 and
xf86-video-intel-2.1.1 drivers to be able to detect and use the Pineview
chipset rather than falling back to VESA.  And, if so, what would be
involved?  The goal is not 3d acceleration but rather just widescreen
video resolution support.

Cheers,
Louis
