My video-driver is "xf86-video-intel 2.3.2", and "X.Org X Server 1.4.2", my distribution is Archlinux. The patch's size is calculated with the dmesg from kernel-2.6.27. My lap-top computer work now, but I'm not sure that, So is there any specification about it or any suggestion, I'm glad to do some test on it.
