No problem - otherwise it works just fine... DRM is nice to have, but
I don't really run all the time 3D stuff on my laptop, and I just
occasionally startle the unfortunate onlooker with some weird Beryl
effect...

As I mantioned, I am running modular-xorg-1.4 on a different box. I
decided to bite the bullet and try the update on my laptop - the one
woth failed DRM. It is still compiling, so I will first revert to the
previous xf86-video-intel - at least for the test.
