Looks like Intel upstream developers are not interested in providing such a
list. :-( I got one from Intel China. Hope it's not too secret.

xf86-video-intel   master branch
       commit 00aa4f7a45a318af5b651f9f3928e9da4443233a (=2.9.99.901)

mesa   mesa_7_7_branch branch
       commit f17dbe256bb38c35d885260be7e5856f1561de97 (=7.7-rc1)

kernel  master branch
        commit 648f4e3e50c4793d9dbf9a09afa193631f76fa26 (=Linux 2.6.32-rc8)

libdrm  master branch
       commit b666f4151ab934d3083fa8b5f14ce19bbf999b15 (2.4.15+)

xserver server-1.7-branch (1.7.2) is recommended.

Additionally I figured out that xorg-server 1.6.5 works as well. For XvMC
support you need

- xcb-proto git master commit ae06ddd (can be adjusted easily to your needs)

    Add DRI2 protocol, based off of dri2proto.h and the server code. (v2)

- libxcb git master commit e82c34c (can be adjusted easily to your needs)

    Add DRI2 support. (v2)

Otherwise the lib*Xvmc libs are not built. Meanwhile xcb-proto 1.6 and libxcb
1.5 have been released, which include these commits.

Hope that helps.
