[ANNOUNCE] xf86-video-intel 2.18.0

[Łukasz Maśko]

Has anyone noticed, that xrandr --scale stopped working properly with this 
driver version?

I have a laptop with native resolution 1280x800. My TV supports only 
1024x768 and 1360x768 (or higher), most of projectors I use support only 
1024x768. So if I want to use the --same-as option (cloning) I'm forced to 
use --scale to adjust my secondary display to the primary. This is what I 
do:

$ xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768 --scale 1.25x1.04

It worked prfectly up to 2.17.0. But if I use 2.18.0, it is not. In fact, 
after I execute the command above, my TV shows proper picture, but after a 
very short while (5 seconds?) the screen "looses" scaling and shows only 
1024x768 from the upper-left part of my primary screen.

I've downgraded back to 2.17.0 and it is OK now. My laptop has Intel 945GM 
Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03). I'm using kernel 3.2.9 and 
xserver 1.11.4 (the driver for synaptics touchpad is not compiling wiht the 
latest 1.12.0, that's why I had to stay with 1.11.4).

With my best regards.
