Bug Description

I've been trying to get CRT display on a an IBM Thinkpad X60 and someone suggested I use i855crt. I ended up having to add the PCI ID to the source and fixed some obvious/trivial typos on the way.

After doing all this I discovered #17659. I'm not sure why that bug was rejected though. If this package has been superseded by capabilities in X itself, it should probably be removed from main? At the very least the trivial typos part of the patch really ought to be applied.

If this is still a issue then to get your fix included in Ubuntu, it would help if you tried transforming it into a debdiff (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff) and submit it for review (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess). If you prefer somebody else to do that, that's fine - please just indicate if you're available to do that.

Is this still an issue in Hardy with the new Intel driver (xserver-xorg-video-intel)?
