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

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 .
