I'd suggest you work against Xorg's official release. The monolithic 6.9 
series is not maintained upstream.

I think the code you need is Xorg's driver/xf86-video-intel (by the way 
Intel is really supporting this as "open source" :)

There is some work on modualr Xorg in pkgsrc. I use it myself (and have 
for a  very long time). I have committed a few things for DragonFly to 
Xorg source.

I can help you with creating a xf86-video-intel package.

I think it would be better to test against supported code versus trying to 
patch old obsolete and unmaintained code.

Hope you get this fake@
