Intel 945 + xorg

Hi. I have latest Xorg installed (xorg-server 1.1.1-3) and all of the xorg packages but one thing is bothering me. If this is Xorg R7.1 then where is intel driver which is presumed to be better at handling widescreen resolutions than old i810 driver. Or maybe this isn't xorg R7.1?If not , where can I get intel driver (I don't mean "i810" driver for intel based cards but "intel" driver for these cards)??

Yes, I know about i810 and I also use it but according to my sources from fedora distro there is "intel" driver which is in testing phase and I was just wondering if there's any way to obtain it in Arch.

I'm pretty sure they just renamed the i810 driver to intel. I don't think they made a release since they did this, but you can always checkout the latest version of any driver from xorg's git repository.
