Hi Eugeni:

My primary interest in Intel graphics is I just want something that is
completely stable for a mostly 2D desktop with the ability to play
some low-end 3D games.  Thus, I have been reasonably content with what
I get from Debian stable for my g33 graphics hardware, but I would
like to upgrade to Debian testing for a number of reasons.  However,
what's been holding me back from that upgrade is concern that g33 has
not been validated for a while by the Intel team (e.g., no mention of
g33 for your first quarterly release this year).

Therefore, I was very glad to see g33 mentioned as one of the
validated platforms both for this release and also for the 3rd
quarterly release this year so my hopes that g33 will work with no big
issues for Debian testing are much higher than they were. However,
testing results for only some (Pineview 32-bit, and
Sandybridge/Ivybridge for 64-bit) of your validated platforms are
linked at the above URL.  Is there a link you can give me for the g33
test results (preferably 64 bit)?
