This machine runs a bigmem kernel so GEM is disabled since it is
incompatible with PAE before 2.6.31. So you're running without
acceleration (UXA needs GEM). It would be good to test with UXA enabled
(with 2.6.31 or a non-bigmem kernel). Also testing with kernel
modesetting might be interesting as well. UXA+KMS is what the intel devs
really want to work.
