The question is back porting support for new hardware to old distros; that's generally easier done by taking the new driver and compiling it with the old X server bits than by back-porting hardware support into the old driver. For a driver using KMS and Glamor, it might not actually matter all that much as the hardware-specific code in the driver heads to zero. -- keith.pack...@intel.com
