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.
