915resolution enhancement (by SUSE)

[Jos Vos]

Hi,

A suggestion for the 915resolution maintainer: you may want to look
at SUSE's patches for 915resolution to support more recent Intel
chipsets.  Their src.rpm including the patches can be found at:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Drivers:/Video:/intel-G33/SLE_10_SP1/repodata/repoview/915resolution-0-0.5.2.1-35.1.html

Their patch to support more chipsets seems to be pretty straigtforward.

Using their patched version just saved my life (well, kind of ;-))
on RHEL5, where I could get my HW config working (new G33 chipset)
with the "i810" driver on 1680x1050 after using 915resolution.

To be honest, my HW works out-of-the-box on F8 without running
915resolution, because the "intel" driver there works fine, but it's
good to have a tool like 915resolution ready for weird setups.

Cheers,
