I have a thinkpad x220, which works quite well (some games crash, but
"working", when doing anything non-gaming):

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 0126 (rev
09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Lenovo Device 21da
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 41
        Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
        Memory at c0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
        I/O ports at 5000 [size=64]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
        Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit-
        Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features
        Kernel driver in use: i915
        Kernel modules: i915

Looks mostly the same, only other device number, does that make any
difference?
I installed using a xfce-beta live cd, haven't tried any "new" live cd
since then.

Hope that helps,
