So just to let people know where kernel modesetting is getting to and what I'm up to with it..
So I really want to ship something in Fedora 9 with kernel modesetting in it, whether this is a default or a special boot option for the user I won't decide for a while. But with this in mind I've checked in bunch of changes to the modesetting drm to make modesetting optional for i915, you now load the i915 module with modeset=1 to enable it. I've also created an intel-kernelmode branch which is based on the intel-batchbuffer branch, with fairly clean modesetting integration. It still needs work to fixup a few features but I'm going to work my way through the list. (it needs fixes for rotation + video at the moment) The DDX driver can detect whether modesetting is enabled in the drm and does the right thing for each case. I checked a patch into the server to allow the crtc callback to work, I think this breaks ABI with xf86Crtc.c users, need to confirm what the proper action for this is.
