xf86-video-intel

Read the guidelines... Updated versions of packages don't belong in the AUR.

Edit the PKGBUILD (like I did), and build the thing. Piece of cake - that's what ABS is for, after all. One might as well pick another distro since this is one of the strenghts of Arch.

Re: xf86-video-intel

Do NOT report bugs when a package is just outdated, or it is in Unsupported. Use the 'flag out of date' link on the package page, or the Mailing List

http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra … deo-intel/

more or less all you need to do is change the PKGBUILD to reflect the driver version update, change the 2.3.1 to a 2.4.0 in the PKGBUILD and then run

makepkg

and then

pacman -U <name_of_package_you_just_built>

edit:... and yes, it's really that easy.
