Quick question that I haven't been able to find the answer to (and not for lack of trying, believe me): Is dual-monitor display for the new Intel HD Graphics 4600 (Haswell, e.g. Intel E3-1200v3 family processors) supported in CentOS 6.4? In particular, I'm looking at a SuperMicro X10SAE; SuperMicro has already replied that triple-display only works with a VGA-HDMI-DP combo (lame) and only in Windows (lame), but had no information as to dual-display (they reported to me that only tested single-head configurations [lame] before marking it as "supported" on their website). http://www.supermicro.com/support/resources/OS/C226.cfm
I already found that the Intel opensource site only has releases for Fedora 19 and Ubuntu 13, and that X.org lists the latest release as 2011Q3 and the latest support as SandyBridge: http://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads http://www.x.org/wiki/IntelGraphicsDriver/ But the latest version of xorg-x11-drv-intel in ElRepo Extras was uploaded in March of this year, and I haven't found whether the upstream vendor backported or sideported something into the latest distribution.
[Yes, I'm STILL working on the workstation configuration. We're considering putting off triple-head support to cut costs, because the dreamy NVS510 cards are expensive. It's like a morass of quicksand sometimes.]

A request to update the Intel graphics packages has been filed with ELRepo:

No ETA but once released, they should be newer than what is in EL6.
