Yes, that would be nice. Note however that this is a patch to the
kernel and not the intel driver, since for a while now, screen
detection is done in the kernel. A kernel cannot be easily tested
using a LiveCD as far as I know, so you would have to have an
installed system, preferably Karmic or Lucid.

There are some instructions for how to test patches to the i915 kernel
module at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild . See Martin
Pitt's answer to the first question on that page.
