Yeah I saw that somewhere.  I'm a little disappointed that they dropped
this feature.   A couple years ago it seemed to me that they would
be working on the new feature, but unfortunately...   :-(

Good question...   It LOOKS like they don't support it anymore.
There is a 1.7.4 version of xf86-video-i810 but it's dated Jan 9, 2007.
It does not look like it's still supported, and as far as I can tell
it wont easily rebuild against the F10 X Server.  :(

For one thing it would need to get ported over to the libpciaccess.
