I do not know if all the zeros have to be ones for 2D to be supported or 
not.  The Intel v2.7 driver may not support 2D at least for your video 
card.  You could try xf86-video-intel29 instead of xf86-video-intel to 
see if that helps.  You need to remove the IGNORE line in the Makefile 
first.  I have no Intel hardware, so I do not know if this will help at 
any.
