compensatory fixes for xf86-video-intel driver

[J Lumby]

Well,    thanks for mentioning that, but that seems to raise a question.

I git cloned from 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel.git/ on 2 April.

Isn't the git repository supposed to be up-to-date every night?

Where you say "cleaned up in xfree86-video-intel"  --    where is that 
if not in the git repo?

and do you mean literally "xfree86-video-intel"???  I.e. the ancient 
pre-Xorg-fork XFree86 code base??

or you meant to say xf86-video-intel?

Is there anything you can do to help ensure that the public repository 
is kept up to date?


Cheers,     John Lumby
