I would also like to extend my gratitude to the Intel OSTC for their Linux graphics support, I'm very happy that the official driver is open source, as opposed to the competition.
My main gripe with the driver is what Scorpi said: video playback tearing using Xv with Sandy Bridge. I have a 1920x1080 laptop display, running kernel 3.2, mesa 7.11.2 and the 2.17.0 version of the driver, and it is very annoying to see tearing in full screen video.
While not that important, as darkbasic said, video decoding with libva 1.0.15 uses more CPU than without! It's a bit sad having the silicon to do the decoding, yet it being basically useless.
Thanks for listening to your users!
