Yes.
To fix this, I would need access to such a machine (OS, GPU, driver),
currently we don't have the Intel GPU's in out test matrix.
I was thinking about adding a new Sandy Bridge machine .. maybe the next generation.
Yes, I know, Intel might be still the most distributed integrated GPU (IGP) on earth,
due to office machines.
If you are familiar w/ Windows, cygwin/ssh (user process w/ desktop access)
and maybe VNC .. you could give me access to test.
