xf86-video-intel on skylake

Can you please update xf86-video-intel in order to support skylake-based intel onboard gpu or later intel onboard gpu? On my last test. Xorg failed to start if intel driver was selected.

Re: xf86-video-intel on skylake

It turns out that this freedesktop's github has more recent version of intel xorg driver which able to support more recent intel onboard graphics.

https://github.com/freedesktop/xorg-xf86-video-intel

While on official xorg the xf86-video-intel source code was not yet updated. Only intel gpu's dated 2014 are supported, not 2015 and later

I wonder if the slitaz package maintainers can update the receipt to get the xf86-video-intel source code from freedesktop's github instead of xorg repo upon cooking the package
