You can:
a) make a PKGBUILD and send it to me.
b) once I've setup the github page properly and placed more content in there, do a pull request.
c) request membership to our github organization, if you feel like maintaining something.
d) send me prebuilt packages with an explanation, what and why.

I'll try to fix this asap, I need to try out new TI Graphics SDK first, if the driver in there is OK I'll be offering you Xorg 1.12 (driver is compiled for that one). If not, you'll get the 1.13 with the current half working driver.

This might not be the solution most would want, but if TI driver works fine enough I'll go with it. I don't have the skills to fix the current Nokia derived one and no one capable is interested, and at least TI updates theirs four times in a year, already supporting kernels up to 3.8. I'm also pretty f*ing tired dealing with this issue, constantly.
