The UXA tweak works in my Toshiba too, http://www.toshiba.se/laptops/satellite-pro/c850/satellite-pro-c850-19w/
with Intel i5 and built-in graphics Intel 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00[VGA controller]) Would it be safe to have it as default, or could the UXA tweak do any harm for some version of Intel graphics? Maybe the entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf could be more specific, so that it will be used only for old Intel graphics?
