It seems like we need to update xorg* packages in Dom0 to support the recent laptops based on Sandy Bridge, specifically to support their GPUs.

Stefan confirmed that the updated xorg/libdrm drivers work fine. He uploaded the src.rpms here:

Now, the only thing that stops us is the lack of any way to verify authenticity of the intel source code -- keep working on this.

Our new dom0-updates repo now has the latest intel drv (and nuoveau as well). This should be working now, but unfortunately have no h/w to test it on. Closing.
