Hi Neal,
I made some test with 9 stable on SandyBridge and IvyBridge CPU.
With Sandybridge, I compiled everything without problem, openGL
correctly detected, configured and accelerated, KDE with compisition up
and running.
With Ivybridge, I compiled everything without problem, openGL correctly
detected and configured, but not accelerated, swrast was used instead.
Problem detected using simple test like glxgears or engine.
You could compile the intel driver manually.
But I'm using the xorg-dev repository to obtain the last version of
drivers and library.
best regards,
Luca
