But if you say that Intel support for their chip is "right around the corner", that opens up a more appealing possibility. Since you seem to know the neighborhood and its corners, and I don't, can you give us a clue of what "right around" means? And how confident your are about your estimate?
Not confident at all, as it would really only be crystal-ball gazing, at best. My gut feeling is maybe to look again in something like a 3 month time frame. Just because engineers are rapidly trying to get something together in the sources, it will still take time for distros to package and begin distributing to users. And even this is just a huge wild guess 'feeling' on my part, certainly nothing to take to the bank.
Here's my results on a Dell Vostro 3750 (Sandybridge i3-2310): - stock OS11.4 does not work; - stock Ubuntu 11.04 (which has a slightly newer SW compilation) works. I put the second line above for proof that Sandybridge graphics support in Linux IS available. But you will probably never get it to work in 11.4 because there will be no version upgrades e.g. of the Kernel within the release. In my view, the way to go to get Sandybridge graphics support in OS11.4 is what Felix described in an earlier post. Concerning Tumbleweed, I'm running another box on it (because I needed a feature from Kernel 2.6.39), and there is absolutely no problem. Unfortunately there's no Sandybridge on that box so I can't verify if Tumbleweed or the other method described by Felix will make it work. K.-H.

A new 275.19 dropped yesterday, and while I've already downloaded I haven't tried installing it yet. Just about to try that now....
Still the same problem. Sigh. I guess this is something Nvidia is expecting the KWin devs to fix...
