My request stems from a recent previous post regarding TC7 Intel graphic issues. Recently upgraded from TC6 -> TC7 and lost graphic support for my old Intel i810. Digging around, Intel for TC6 was compiled so:
tce-load -i xorg-server-dev
cd xf86-video-intel-2.99.917
CC="gcc -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/local/lib/xorg
find . -name Makefile -type f -exec sed -i 's/-O2//g' {} \;
make
sudo make install
xf86-video-intel 2.99.917 will be compiled with:
Xorg Video ABI version: 19.0
Acceleration backends: none *sna uxa
Additional debugging support? none
Support for Kernel Mode Setting? yes
Support for legacy User Mode Setting (for i810)? yes
Support for Direct Rendering Infrastructure: DRI1 DRI2 Present
Support for Xv motion compensation (XvMC and libXvMC): yes
Build additional tools and utilities? xf86-video-intel-backlight-helper intel-virtual-output
...while TC7 was compiled without legacy i810 support:
tce-load -i git automake libtool-dev gettext-dev intltool xorg-server-dev Xorg-7.7-3d-dev
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel
cd xf86-video-intel
./autogen.sh
CC="gcc -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" CXX="g++ -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-static --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/local/lib/xorg --enable-kms-only --enable-uxa
[fails with -flto]
find . -name Makefile -type f -exec sed -i 's/-g -O2//g' {} \;
make
sudo make install

Documentation specific to the xf86-video-intel driver including
possible configuration options for the xorg.conf file can be found in
the intel(4) manual page. After installing the driver this
documentation can be read with the following command:

As an avid *Core user, could xf86-video-intel please be recompiled in TC7 with i810 support? Although the latest info file indicates Juanito, thought coreplayer2 compiled most drivers, so not sure who to ask and posting here. Also not sure if legacy i810 support will work with the latest git version, TC6 i believe used old version 2.99. If not i would be happy with a v2.99 re-compile for TC7, intel-legacy or similar. Thanks for any assistance you all can provide.
