Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Currently (as of mesa git master from 20100908) Intel Sandybridge GPU's
do not function correctly with mesa and correct 3D support is not
planned until the 2010Q4 release in december which will not be included
in Maverick. Starting a gnome session on one of these devices results in
a black screen unless compiz is manually disabled.  These devices may be
released before 11.04 ships and hence using 10.10 could be expected, so
we should blacklist compiz for now until things are fixed upstream so
the basic desktop works.

The PCI id's were obtained from commits to xf86-video-intel:
