The man page, even in Solaris, is out of date.   The driver supports some 
generations of Intel HD graphics, but there's been 5 or 6 completely different
generations so far, so "Intel HD graphics" is too vague - it's like claiming to
support all Intel CPU's & ISA extensions without knowing which CPU models.
