Eventually I figured out Tobias' 2.99.916 in his BS home works. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is what's on the 13.2 mirrors in update: xf86-video-intel-2.99.916-9.1.i586.rpm 18-Dec-2014 With that driver it remains necessary to uncomment the Driver "intel" and Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" lines from the comment 0 xorg.conf to have the rest of that configuration obeyed. Nouveau and Radeon both obey what follows in the file without necessity of driver and/or AccelMethod lines. In additional contrast to Nouveau and and Radeon, Xorg is disregarding EDID preferred when video=1024x768 is present on cmdline (to make tty[1-6] text right-sized using the default framebuffer font), using that mode instead of EDID preferred 1280x1024 as do Nouveau and Radeon. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

This isn't about me. This bug is specifically referenced in the release-notes thus: "will be worked on and, if possible, addressed with an online update". If it isn't possible, which given X11:XOrg has a fix seems to be untrue, the release notes should be updated appropriately to avert some needless pain. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

You haven't stated what problems you are facing with SNA (you may have done so in another ticket). It could be that those problems that prevent you from using default (SNA) have been fixed in 2.99.917. Do you know if this is the case?
My memory of details here is now horribly stale. I have no recollection at all of acceleration method issues, other than accel method has never been a primary concern to me, only a way to workaround functionality bugs. Best of my recollection is the problems with 2.99.916 are as stated in comment 0 and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=83829 and https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85016 which as stated those two bugs were resolved by a regression fix commit on 12 Sept. Had that commit been backported to 13.2's 2.99.916 before 13.2 release I have to guess 13.2's driver would have been OK, negating any reason to have filed this.
For sure we won't update the release notes as this would require to regenerate all translations, I' not sure if it would be a good idea to update the intel video driver at this stage. I'm not sure if 2.99.917 is such a big advantage over the one we have.
I have lots of installations using Intel. 2.99.917 is clearly superior to 2.99.916 in every installation here for which panning[1] is not required. 2.99.916 is not usable here absent heroics that weren't necessary before sometime after 2.99.912 (June) when the regression appeared. Before the regressed version hit Factory, it was usually more convenient, and fully satisfactory, to configure X using xorg.conf*. Before, only when panning[1] or scaling[2] was required was xorg.conf* not 100% up to task. Since 2.99.916 hit Factory last year, I've been forced on installations containing it to either control Xorg via xrandr, which is clumsier, (e.g. requires partial configuration via xorg.conf*), and is subject to tripping over bug 929016 , or to enable either Tobias' BS home or the whole of http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_13.2/ for access to a driver containing the 12 Sept commit.
