Intel’s Eric Anholt has made some improvements to their official classic driver. Eric’s first i915 driver change was always enabling OpenGL 2.0 support rather than OpenGL 1.4 as the case has been. Immediately following that was another commit to add support for GL_EXT_texture_sRGB and GL_EXT_texture_sRGB_decode. Phoronix has more about the changes on their site.
