You do realize that is Intel employees paid by Intel to work on drivers for Intel hardware who are responsible for maintaining the Intel graphics video support in Linux, right?

Jus’ saying.

Nice!

Sadly I’m using the Redmond OS as well, because linux fucking sucks when it comes to Intel video cards….
It all used to be good, but when “Linux” decides to fix something, it has to fucking break it into pieces in all the ‘good and stable’ distros in order to achieve some good stuff way later on (probably because companies working on linux consider shipping crap a way to get some beta testing done and force people to write patches).

Linux, pull your shit together!

True, but I was replying to the part that said
“Then the sad part: as posted by me during the week I’m on the Redmond OS now (mainly because of Raster video performance compared to the 2.6.27 Intel driver shipped with OpenSuSE).”

You might want to try upgrading to the X server and kernel in this repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Moblin:/Base/openSUSE_11.1/ .

I’m using openSUSE 11.1 with a 2.6.30 kernel and intel driver 2.8.0 and performance is great (not that I had any problems before with my 945GME, but it’s even better).
