I agree wholeheartedly about the being careful to avoid undesirable side-effects.

The only one of those commits I would include for sure is the one that adds the PCI ID for the Pineview chip.

The last one that I mentioned is especially risky.

I can't test the first two because I don't have the necessary hardware (I have an ATI R350). I might be able to test the third one, but I don't have any skills at compiling from git. The closest I got was doing a successful git clone of the mesa repository back in the Karmic days. However I might give Mesa 7.9.0+git20100915.e0b6df4f-0ubuntu0sarvatt from the xorg-edgers PPA a try.

Is it still planned to include Mesa 7.9 final in Maverick as per the "General X.org plans for M" blueprint at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-maverick-xorg-in-mm ?
