i855crt working here for some time now, it's good to go stable
I don't have hardware to test this package (as it's Intel i855 specific).
I suppose the maintainer listed in metadata.xml has this hardware. Btw, is it a wrong procedure to CC the maintainer/herd when filling stable request bugs?
this is a no-go. It works fine here as long as i set the --no-cursor option (or similiar, i'm not at the laptop right now), but then, you obviously don't have a cursor. If I don't specify that option, I get random pixel trash in the left top corner. I already notified upstream about it, but it seems to be dead, so I'd really rather not mark this stable.
