Chris,

Yes, the Xserver 1.9.2 package implementation is part of the basic  requirements as \
well as Mesa 7.10 and the updated Xorg Intel 2.14.x driver.

You'll need a package set as I proposed for IPS updates:

xf86-video-intel 2.14.0 
Mesa 7.10 
libdrm-2.4.23  
cairo-1.10.2 
libva-1.0.7 
xserver-1.9.3 

Note: ON (snv) kernel patches needed for kernel-side Intel DRI/DRM support
for the Intel GMA HD 2000/3000 IGPs. Otherwise, you'll continue to have have 2D/3D \
performance regressions and other oddities.

You can get Alan's Xserver 1.9.2 build for testing at:
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/x/downloads/Xorg-1.9/build-2010-11-18/Xorg-1.9.2-20101118-i386.tar.bz2


I'm reviewing the intel 2.13.903/2.14.x 2D driver/Xserver 1.9.2 package integration \
for testing.   
Mesa 7.10 is proposed for release tomorrow.

Tests ran on: Intel HD Graphics (Arrandale & Clarkdale) IGPs.

P.S. When it rans, it pours.
