In openSUSE it's not wishful thinking. I do a software search. I see what I
want. I enable that repo if it isn't already enabled, and I install, just a
few minutes.

So you say, but here's how you started:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel

Then what? That page is full of tabs and links.

Next:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/intel-gpu-tools

Same problem.

Next:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/xorg-x11-drv-intel.git/plain

Fewer links, but the same question.

Anyway, I'm not going to build. Even if I wanted to, the systems with the bug
have limited available space, so I'm not going to shrink it and risk
eliminating it by installing one time use software and source. F21 can either
go out the door with the bug, or I can wait and see if the fix gets into F21
through someone else's effort.

BTW, I did yum remove xorg-x11-drv-intel and then rpm installed
xf86-video-intel-3.0.0git-216.1.i586.rpm from an openSUSE repo. That produced
apparent solution:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85016#c5
