Got some errors though:

Xorg.log reports:

(EE) intel(0): Failed to submit batch buffer, expect rendering corruption or 
even a frozen display: Bad file descriptor.

Dmesg:

[drm:i915_gem_do_execbuffer] *ERROR* Object c49c0600 appears more than once in 
object list

It seems to run fine except for the KDE4 effects which do not work  correctly 
(as it also happened on the 901)

Anywhere else I can get more information that would be usefull for you 
developers?
