But couldn't there be a fallback to whatever mechanism was in place with the
initial interrupt support? OpenGL vsync was fine with Xorg 1.7.x and Fedora's
2.6.32 kernel.

Although I appreciate the lack of manpower, this whole business of having very
narrow compatibility windows between the different graphics components makes
testing very difficult. :/
