For the record, it seems that intel (Imagination technologies behind) has released an new driver named emgd. I don't know if this driver will work for your hardware but it works for the hardware I'm working on. (dayjob). This driver is composed by a GPL kernel module and a proprietary userspace libraries. This driver is supported on F-11 and F14 i686 (probably not compatible for F-15) The interesting thing is that it may work better with the current version of libva so the question is to update the current stack to at least libva-1.0.8 (or libva-1.0.10 and libva-freeworld-1.0.8 for the i965 va backend if working). So for the psb case, it would be fine to keep it for F-13 and Obsoletes it for F-14 once emgd is reviewed, The process to Obsoletes a package is described at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife which may requires an additional step for RPM Fusion (to remove the package from the repo).
