...post 2.6.26-rc2-git3. For Linux kernels 2.6.26-rc2-git4 and
newer, you need to revert this commit or the X Server shipped with
Ubuntu Gutsy will die horribly when run on an X61s laptop with the
Intel 965GM video chipset.

So the question is what's the right fix to keep the kernel compatible
with the X server, besides just reverting the commit entirely?
