Intel Sandy Bridge Linux Graphics? It's A Challenge

Sandybridge is out, but no Gallium support or support expected in later drivers...makes me wonder. Does Intel actually plan to some day develop and optimize their open source drivers to the point of making them faster than what Gallium is capable of? What other reason would they have for not wanting to begin transitioning to Gallium?

Currently Gallium sufferes from vaious bottlenecks hurting performance especially on weaker IGPs utilizing shared memory. For instance the mobile Radeon HD4250 does much less FPS in OpenGL games than with the classic mesa stack. With faster GPUs is seems to be the opposite in some cases. My best guess ist that Intel avoids Gallium at this time to maximize the performance of their IGPs under Linux - just my two cents

The difficulty of that workaround is that one has to spend more money on an otherwise unnecessary graphics card that would replace the otherwise OK integrated graphics provided on Sandy Bridge CPUs.
