The drm tree always has latest and greatest versions of this... Kernel
only syncs this every so often. And from what I can tell that never
disappeared. Just the menu was restructured etc...

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).


I'm in the same boat with my new Thinkpad. It's got an intel adaptor in it and no GEM goodness.

The drm spell source has the source files for the i195 card, however I don't know how to build them. I haven't really looked into it.

No GEM goodness. :(
