Now that the i830/i845 portion of the i915 driver supports all the functionality of the old i830 drive, can we at least mark the i830 kernel driver as deprecated? The sooner we can totally kill that driver, the better
No we can't ever mark it as anything, we've got to support it for ever :-), people should be able to keep upgrading their kernels without having to go install a new X release.... if everyone was going to upgrade X we'd be all right but there are a lot of people out there still using 4.2 and 4.3...
That sucks. Wasn't the gamma driver just deprecated? I know that situation is a little different. However, at least in this case users have a way to get direct rendering working again. It's a tough call, though.
