Just a quick follow-up to this. It looks like Arjan's patch comes from XFree86 CVS, which got a bunch of i830 updates from Keith and David Dawes a few days ago (which explains the "KW" comments in Arjan's patch). I assume we'll get these into DRI with the next sync-up. Just another example of the multiple repositories causing confusion... ;)
