Hi Tobias,
the bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79999 in
xf86-video-intel which broke Mathematica seems to have been fixed.
May I ask if you know what the timeline between such corrective commits
on http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/ and the
actual update of the openSUSE repo would usually be?
That depends on someone who updates the package and sends it to the
devel repo (here X11:XOrg).
I'm just packing the latest git version with your fix included and will
send it to X11:XOrg (oh wait Stefan already updated the package to
resolve your bug). Just wait for the build to finish again :)
More directly speaking I need 'my' Mathematica graphics to work again.
I.e. it would be cool if there would be an openSUSE update soon (which
then hopefully is even less buggy than the last one ;) )
-------------
Furthermore, while I'm at it let me also ask something more general in
relation to the xf86-video-intel driver. Maybe you can tell me:
I realized that, contrary to my initial belief, the driver is not a
'kernel driver' in the sense that one does not need properly configured
kernel header files in order to compile a clone from
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel. Instead a simple
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr
make
makes the driver. So I guess, that with 'sudo make install' I would have
the 'bleeding edge' version in my system.
However before doing so, I unpacked the rpm from
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_13.1/x86_64/xf86-video-intel-2.99.912-125.1.x86_64.rpm
in some test directory and compared its file structure with that from a
test installation of xf86-video-intel from the git clone into some user
space directory.
One immediately realizes that there would be major differences between
these two installs.
I don't really know how the src packages are formed, just look at the
"real" packages which has the same datastructure as your git compilation
has :)
So therefore my actual question is if you know how openSUSE transforms
the git clones into their source tar.gz bundles?
If I'd knew that, I could simple download the openSUSE spec file for the
driver and could build my own rpm from the git clone whenever I want -
without having to bug mailing lists.

It seems the bug is confirmed - but no solution yet.
If you are interested i could pack you the latest version of that
driver, maybe that helps you.
Before I'll start soliciting for 'out-off-update-cyle' packaging of
drivers :) , let's indeed wait to see if the developers can fix this in
a regular fashion in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks anyway.

So for what i can see the 3D part is rendered as is should, just not
shown, it's just a syncronization bug somewhere, just stay calm, the
next version will fix it eventually. :)

I'd like to return bugging (warning) this list with an info about
continuing issues with the xf86-video-intel driver.
Just 3 days ago, the new version of this driver bricked all of my
graphics because of incompatibilities with openSUSE's 3.11 kernel (see
previous posts in this thread).
Now, the newest version from X11:Org,
xf86-video-intel-2.99.912-125.1.x86_64.rpm seems to run properly at 1st
sight, but then it turns out that it severely breaks major software
relying on proper graphics systems installed.
In my case it is the CAS Mathematica: with the
xf86-video-intel-2.99.912-125.1.x86_64.rpm installed, Mathematica has
stopped to display 3D graphics.
I filed a bug report directly at the
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79999 , but (as to be
expected) the developers from there offered assistance beyond my
capabilities.

Ok., so the X11:XOrg > Status Monitor for 13.1 x86_64 says the
repository 'has been published' and kicking-off my Software Updater from
the System Tray there was only one update, namely the xf86-video-intel
driver .... and .... indeed my machine seems back to life (me too).
Thanks so much - that was really great!

If the SR (Submitrequest) gets accepted by the maintainer, X11:XOrg
will
rebuild that package (and all packages depending on it). And as i see
now, it got accepted. The repo is still building, you can check if
it is
finished here:
https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/X11:XOrg
Please note, the patch is only in the X11:XOrg Repo and won't get
delivered by the 13.1 Update Repo!
