I am marking this bug as 'Won't Fix' status based on input from Alberto Milone (comment 4). The cedarview driver is closed source, which means Ubuntu/Canonical cannot update it for use with newer Xservers, such as those found in Ubuntu releases Quantal/12.10 and later.

Ubuntu Precise/12.04 users must use a 3.2 kernel and Xserver 1.11.x if they want to use the cedarview-drm module. They can accomplish this by installing the xserver-xorg-lts-precise package and removing kernels/Xservers for newer releases. Sample commands:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-lts-precise
sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-lts-quantal xserver-xorg-lts-raring linux-generic-lts-quantal linux-generic-lts-raring

If intel decides to update their code, this bug should be updated accordingly.
