Yep, that's what I'm looking to replace with the ones from the X.org
tree.  I'd like to do it within the portage system, but 'equery files
mesa' didn't have any *.ko's and 'equery files libdrm' didn't either...

The kernel version usually lags behind primary developer's version,
especially when there a lot of development occurring (like the intel
driver).

I also tried 'eix -S 'X\.org.*kernel'' and got nothing...  Does anyone
have any idea if there is even a Gentoo pkg for the X.org drm/i915 modules?

thx,

Jason
