I'm sorry about the state of i915tool. I hope to be able to release what i have very soon.
Thanks for your patience.
We need to solve the vga bios problem. I learned some things about at least the laptop side of things, and hope to be able to communicate what I've learned at some point.
Anyway, like I say, I"m sorry that it's not updated yet. Some things got in the way. I don't expect the delay to be that much longer.
