This is great. Now if only the newer Intel drivers didn't make X segfault! This seems to be a common problem. I had to downgrade to 2.14.0; some bug introduce

  > Fast is nice, but stable is better. I agree. The graphics system is basically the only part where I'm envious of windows users. As far as I know, since vista the graphics driver can crash without tearing down the rest of the graphical system, i. e. no data loss.

    Well, on the other hand, nVidias drivers were responsible for 30% of Vista crashes..

  Modern distributions are unusable for me because of Intel 855GM graphics driver bugs. The latest one I can use is Ubuntu 10.10 with special patches by glasen-hardt.de, even Fedora 15 and openSUSE 11.4 give me trouble with flashing windows, missing content etc.

    Yeah, I have an old lightweight Sony with 852/855 and it ran better with Gentoo five years ago than with Maverick today. To get it to work Ubuntu turns off the acceleration so it feels so damn slow. Crossing my fingers.

      The worst part is the intel people have been talking about just dropping support for older chips altogether.
