Time for 2.6.30 in F-11?

Hi,

The fact is that F11 shipped with broken Xv support for old Intel
chips such as the i855 among other deficiencies. The problem can
mainly be attributed to the outdated xorg-drv-x11-intel-2.7.0 that
came with F11. A newer version (2.8.0) for that driver exists but also
depends on an updated user-space libdrm and kernel DRM for Intel h/w
hence the request. xorg-drv-x11-intel should be really updated ASAP.

Regards,
Ilyes Gouta.
