>Description:
Not sure why the previous form did not get sent, but here we go:
Investigation needs to be done beyond a mere UXA fallback workaround. For various Ironlake boards I have, UXA works for basic 2D acceleration such as dragging windows, but complex canvases stutter, and 3D does not work.

Tested on a Dell Latitude E5510 and an HP EliteBook 8440p. These bugs do not happen if I instead use DRM via biosboot into VESA, disabling KMS.
>How-To-Repeat:
2D issues: build Firefox with native Xorg and MesaLib. I get slow canvas rendering at 30-40fps. With biosboot/VESA, I get a constant 60fps instead.

3D issues: Run "glxgears." The output fails to render past the first two frames. Drag it around, and the window should flicker, go crazy, freeze then crash with this message:
"i965: failed to submit batchbuffer"
On biosboot/VESA, the program in contrast works fine.

With firefox + native Xorg/MesaLib, WebGL fails to initialize on hardware, instead resorting to llvmpipe.
