Rename driver from i810 to intel. Permit old name for compatibility.modesetting-rotation
Driver installs as intel_drv.so with symlink to i810_drv.so to ensure existing configurations continue to work. Updated manual page to reflect name change and add attributions for recent work.

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B i810
-is an __xservername__ driver for Intel integrated graphics chipsets.
-The driver supports depths 8, 15, 16 and 24. All visual types are
-supported in depth 8. For the i810/i815 other depths support the
-TrueColor and DirectColor visuals. For the i830M and later, only the
-TrueColor visual is supported for depths greater than 8. The driver
-supports hardware accelerated 3D via the Direct Rendering Infrastructure
-(DRI), but only in depth 16 for the i810/i815 and depths 16 and 24 for
-the 830M and later.
-.SH SUPPORTED HARDWARE
-.B i810
-supports the i810, i810-DC100, i810e, i815, i830M, 845G, 852GM, 855GM,
-865G, 915G, 915GM, 945G, 945GM, 965G, 965Q and 946GZ chipsets.
-
-.SH CONFIGURATION DETAILS
-Please refer to __xconfigfile__(__filemansuffix__) for general configuration
-details. This section only covers configuration details specific to this
-driver.
-.PP
-The Intel 8xx and 9xx families of integrated graphics chipsets has a unified
-memory architecture and uses system memory for video ram. For the i810 and
-i815 family of chipset, operating system support for allocating system
-memory for video use is required in order to use this driver. For the 830M
-and later, this is required in order for the driver to use more video ram
-than has been pre-allocated at boot time by the BIOS. This is usually
-achieved with an "agpgart" or "agp" kernel driver. Linux, and recent
-versions of FreeBSD, OpenBSD and NetBSD have such kernel drivers available.
-.PP
-By default 8 Megabytes
-of system memory are used for graphics. For the 830M and later, the
-default is 8 Megabytes when DRI is not enabled and 32 Megabytes with
-DRI is enabled. This amount may be changed with the
-.B VideoRam
-entry in the config file
-.B "Device"
-section. It may be set to any reasonable value up to 64MB for older
-chipsets or 128MB for newer chipsets. It is advisable to check the
-__xservername__
-log file to check if any features have been disabled because of insufficient
-video memory. In particular, DRI support or tiling mode may be disabled
-with insufficient video memory. Either of these being disabled will
-reduce performance for 3D applications. Note however, that increasing
-this value too much will reduce the amount of system memory available
-for other applications.
-.PP
-The driver makes use of the video BIOS to program video modes for the 830M
-and later. This limits the video modes that can be used to those provided
-by the video BIOS, and to those that will fit into the amount of video memory
-that the video BIOS is aware of.
-.PP
-The following driver
-.B Options
-are supported
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qNoAccel\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Disable or enable acceleration. Default: acceleration is enabled.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qSWCursor\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Disable or enable software cursor. Default: software cursor is disable
-and a hardware cursor is used for configurations where the hardware cursor
-is available.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qColorKey\*q \*q" integer \*q
-This sets the default pixel value for the YUV video overlay key.
-Default: undefined.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qCacheLines\*q \*q" integer \*q
-This allows the user to change the amount of graphics memory used for
-2D acceleration and video. Decreasing this amount leaves more for 3D
-textures. Increasing it can improve 2D performance at the expense of
-3D performance.
-.TP
-This option only takes effect when XAA acceleration is enabled.
-.TP
-Default: depends on the resolution, depth, and available video memory. The
-driver attempts to allocate space for at 3 screenfuls of pixmaps plus an
-HD-sized XV video. The default used for a specific configuration can be found
-by examining the __xservername__ log file.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDRI\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Disable or enable DRI support.
-Default: DRI is enabled for configurations where it is supported.
-
-.PP
-The following driver
-.B Options
-are supported for the i810 and i815 chipsets:
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDDC\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Disable or enable DDC support.
-Default: enabled.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qDac6Bit\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Enable or disable 6-bits per RGB for 8-bit modes.
-Default: 8-bits per RGB for 8-bit modes.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qXvMCSurfaces\*q \*q" integer \*q
-This option enables XvMC. The integer parameter specifies the number of
-surfaces to use. Valid values are 6 and 7.
-Default: XvMC is disabled.
-
-.PP
-The following driver
-.B Options
-are supported for the 830M and later chipsets:
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qVideoKey\*q \*q" integer \*q
-This is the same as the
-.B \*qColorKey\*q
-option described above. It is provided for compatibility with most
-other drivers.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qXVideo\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Disable or enable XVideo support.
-Default: XVideo is enabled for configurations where it is supported.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qRotate\*q \*q90\*q"
-Rotate the desktop 90 degrees counterclockwise. Other valid options are
-0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. The RandR extension is used for rotation
-functionality. So this option allows the Xserver to start with a rotated
-mode of operation.
-Default: 0 degrees.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qLinearAlloc\*q \*q" integer \*q
-Allows more memory for the offscreen allocator. This usually helps in
-situations where HDTV movies are required to play but not enough offscreen
-memory is usually available. Set this to 8160 for upto 1920x1080 HDTV support.
-Default 0KB (off).
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qLegacy3D\*q \*q" boolean \*q
-Enable support for the legacy i915_dri.so 3D driver.
-This will, among other things, make the 2D driver tell libGL to
-load the 3D driver i915_dri.so instead of the newer i915tex_dri.so.
-This option is only used for chipsets in the range i830-i945.
-Default for i830-i945 series: Enabled for i915 drm versions < 1.7.0. Otherwise
-disabled.
-Default for i810: The option is not used.
-Default for i965: The option is always true.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qAperTexSize\*q \*q" integer \*q
-Give the size in kiB of the AGP aperture area that is reserved for the
-DRM memory manager present in i915 drm from version 1.7.0 and upwards,
-and that is used with the 3D driver in Mesa from version 6.5.2 and
-upwards. If the size is set too high to make room for pre-allocated
-VideoRam, the driver will try to reduce it automatically. If you use only
-older Mesa or DRM versions, you may set this value to zero, and
-atctivate the legacy texture pool (see
-.B "Option \*qLegacy3D\*q"
-). If you run 3D programs with large texture memory requirements, you might
-gain some performance by increasing this value.
-Default: 32768.
-.TP
-.BI "Option \*qAccelMethod\*q \*q" string \*q
-Choose acceleration architecture, either "XAA" or "EXA". XAA is the old
-(but stable) XFree86 based acceleration architecture. EXA is a newer and
-simpler acceleration architecture designed to better accelerate the X Render
-extension. Default: "XAA".
