[i855-crt] no i915

Subject: i855-crt: Does not function on i915 (patch included)
Package: i855-crt
Version: 0.4-0ubuntu1
Severity: wishlist

*** Please type your report below this line ***

This package does not work correctly on i915 video controllers, such as that
found on modern Centrino laptops. I've
successfully patched the package to allow this (as well as fixing some minor
typographical errors, and a major
mistake with juxtaposition of ; and ||) - I was unable to invoke a display with
my patched tool on a Belinia 17" TFT,
until I tried "./i855crt on 1024x768@70", which worked perfectly and smoothly
compared to the juddering image in
i810switch.

I've also sent this patch to upstream.
