So to get these golden registers.. will it be necessary to wait for kernel 3.10 or will an update to Xorg-edgers be sufficient? Might these golden registers fix choppy desktop effects on RS880/integrated 4250?

I say 'more or less work' because of the comment above about 'stranger behavior' or 'bugs' on certain cards. Its very possible that some or all of the card specific bugs the FOSS teams have hit are simply because registers are being plugged in the wrong order and hitting unknown and untested register configurations. If thats the case, then using these -correct- registers should automatically fix those bugs.
Clearer now?

That's good to know. Though I'm still curious, what exactly makes those registers "golden"?

OK, now I understand. Thanks for clarifying what that actually meant.
