Yes, they are there in 2.6.32.11-102, as well, though I've no idea what 'm'
means.
module instead of built directly into kernel.
Nor have I any idea whether it's relevant or not :-) All I know is
that when I tried the Fedora-supplied Intel driver I got a black
screen with a
flashing CapsLock. When I tried the newly installed Intel driver I got a
black screen, no flash on the CapsLock, but a flashing normal-looking cursor.
Ctrl-alt-Del showed me processes shutting down in what looked like a very
normal sequence. I'm convinced that only the X server was missing.
