Another success story I posted a couple months ago (with version details) here:

I'm also on Sandy Bridge (i3-2120T) but once I got the last piece in
place (set MythtTV interface renderer to OpenGL), everything just
clicked. Since that time, I have once experienced a GPU hang which
made the decoder fall back to OpenGL, but I was able to un-hang it
without rebooting by simply 'echo 0 >
/sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_wedged'
