Awesome!  This is exactly the list of software versions I've been
looking for.  Could this be put on the front page of the
intellinuxgraphics.org page, or somewhere equally obvious?

Also, at least as of xf86-video-intel-2.7.1 and pretty recent mesa and
libdrm devel checkouts, my laptop performs much better under KDE4 than
my nVidia-based desktop.  Looking forward to getting a discrete Intel
card for my desktop, once that's a possibility :)
