That's what I've read as well, yet the drm spell only builds drm.ko and
doesn't have options for i965 anymore (according to the Makefile). The
closest I could find is i810 (i830 and i915 are also both gone from the
Makefile). I'll try the in-kernel ones so I can at least have DRM again.

Here are all the modules the latest drm will build:
# Start with all modules turned off.
CONFIG_DRM_GAMMA := n
CONFIG_DRM_TDFX := n
CONFIG_DRM_MGA := n
CONFIG_DRM_I810 := n
CONFIG_DRM_R128 := n
CONFIG_DRM_RADEON := n
CONFIG_DRM_SIS := n
CONFIG_DRM_FFB := n
CONFIG_DRM_SAVAGE := n
CONFIG_DRM_VIA := n
CONFIG_DRM_MACH64 := n
CONFIG_DRM_NV := n
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU := n
CONFIG_DRM_XGI := n

I tried the i810, but that didn't support my i965 (I thought maybe
they'd merged).
