The reason why we don't use intel's legacy driver is that it is no longer
supported by Intel at all. Also it doesn't support the latest Intel GPUs like
Ironlake, let alone SandyBridge. We package it as a fallback for users, for
whom the current intel driver still doesn't work. Looks like this has been a
good decision. Unfortunately these persons now request to have it as default
driver for any Intel GPU:-(
In case you're interested in testing the latest X/Kernel bits including latest
Intel driver development,here is my HOWTO:
zypper ar -f \
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_11.3/ \
Kernel:HEAD
zypper ar -f \
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.3/ \
X11:XOrg
zypper mr -p 90 Kernel:HEAD
zypper mr -p 90 X11:XOrg

No promises given that this fixes your issues. It might even break your system
completely.
