Er, the 'intel' X driver and 'i915' drm driver, of course, as all modern
Intel graphics hardware does.

If you just grab a single 3.12 kernel and install it then nothing will
_break_ about updates, but you'll never get any kernel updates (IIRC).
nodebug is actually a repo in itself; you can simply enable it (by
grabbing
https://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/rawhide-kernel-nodebug/fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug.repo and sticking it in /etc/yum.repos.d ) and from then on you'll get all your kernel updates from it. When 3.12 makes it to F19 stable you could then just turn off nodebug repo.
