It would be nice if the intel team could get such system. No need for
new feature, but keeping the driver usable across new revision would
be nice. Anyway I am willing to try eventual patches.

A bit unrelated, but would be nice to also have a fix for this i81x bug:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16729

It's an old bug, but started to appear recently due to simpler default
xorg.conf files. Maybe it's just a matter of changing a default value.
