Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.

I assumed as much, but didn't feel like setting up GIT to get the the source and check.
git is overrated. A browser will get you the latest tarball just fine

more like, why use a vcs when you are not going to edit it?

Look at the driver's source, the majority is i830_xxxxx files, except for a few i915_xxxxx and i965_xxxxx files (which have i830 predecessors) These do not include mode setting, only video and hardware acceleration.

Yes,after some testing with the 950 chip using 965 documentation,it seems they are very similar.I already can change resolution to 800*470 .
