F9 contains a couple of pieces of work from Red Hat in the Intel driver, so we ship the normal intel driver as the master one, and a second copy from intel-kernelmode branch from upstream. The intel-kernelmode branch contains DRI2 and kernel modesetting support for the Intel driver. It gets enabled if you a) boot with modesetting enabled (i915.modeset=1) on the kernel command line. or b) Add option "intel-batchbuffer" "true" to the serverflags section. Batchbuffer branch contains a redesigned Intel driver that uses the kernel GPU memory manager and supports DRI2.
