Now that the i830/i845 portion of the i915 driver supports all the

No we can't ever mark it as anything, we've got to support it for ever

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.
yeah but i830 has real live users, and will have for a number of years...
Does the i915 DRM driver cover the i810/830 too? If so, can we whack
the i810/830 drivers? That will lower the amount of code I have to
keep fixing up for my changes.

What do you mean by backwards compatibility? If it's scripts that load
i810.ko we could just copy i915.ko to i810.ko.
Will the i915 binary also drive the i810 and i830 hardware?

No they are different interfaces etc.. the drivers are not the same, the
i915 drm works with the i915 DDX/3D, it doesn't work with the i830 DDX/3D,
the i915 doesn't cover the i810 anyways...
