I was hoping that the 2.9.1 driver would work on the Ironlakes without 
drm support, but I've had multiple failure reports.  A lot of work is 
required to try and de-linuxify and get newer drivers working.  (Read 
GEM and KMS kernel support)  I don't have an Ironlake to test with which 
complicates matters even further, on top of my current time constraints. 
    It is quite possible that the current failure is something simple, 
but I really can't say for sure at the moment.
