Most of those changes were pushed upstream, and so are included in
Hardy; most of the remainder will be in Intrepid.  One or two changes
may not be upstream yet, but the fedora patches are on my todo list to
review if I have time.  Kernel-based modesetting is dependent on GEM
work being done, which I mentioned earlier in this thread, and might be
a jaunty thing.  The stuff still on their todo list will be nice, but I
don't know how much savings they'll bring.
