Note that I can only support FreeBSD...  Your best bet is the Intel
developers, though they will most likely just tell you to update
everything to the current bleeding edge stuff on linux...  That likely
means, running KMS (kernel mode setting), GEM, UXA and DRI2.  There
doesn't appear to be much support otherwise.
