They seemed to get it working with the following:

The open-source driver code for Ivy Bridge has been around going back to
last April, but the recent Linux kernel / Mesa / xf86-video-intel releases
are what offers the best support. In testing of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, its Ivy
Bridge support was spot-on, especially for the at-launch coverage. Ubuntu
12.04 LTS provides the Linux 3.2 kernel, xf86-video-intel 2.17.0, and Mesa
8.0. Assuming you are on Mesa 8.0 and a recent Linux kernel, you should be
in good shape for Ivy Bridge HD 2500/4000 support.

My question is that the installer should give you the option to update to
the latest packages while installing. Are you doing that?

I just bought a new HP Pavillion M6 laptop.  Tried to load Ubuntu
12.04.1 and Mint 13 and Fedora 17.  On all of them I can run the install,
but when it tries to boot, the display shows "Loading Linux" 
and then goes black.  I"ve waited as the CD ran and then stopped loading,
but no joy.  It appears that the Intel 4000 graphics chgip is incompatible.
Any suggestions?

Bill
