@ Michael
I'm intrested in what type of performance does the 965 Express have? In comparison to Nvidia and ATI. Is it safe to say that it will be able to play ut2004 and other games of the like?
Being that the 915G (Grantsdale) came out in 2004 have they improved on this ? Also is this just a linux related issue of the 915G and getting bad gameplay. Sorry I just found your news about this and am just learning. I never knew there was an open source alternative for GPU's
Though none the less this is great news thanks!

The artifacts in the first and third pictures is from the breaking effect when closing windows in AIGLX.
Intel's Linux drivers have been open-source for a while. Today's announcement is basically that it's updated, supports 965 Express, and has a dedicated website. Previously, the results were similar using the i915 and Enemy Territory.

Oh ok, I had no idea. Seriously cool though
In the last picture there, what's that breaking apart effect? Is that the video driver screwing up when you were trying to test out a game?
I am not that knowledgable on integrated video at all, but what was the option prior to these drivers? Were you able to play games without it before, and is the performance better or worse with an official driver? I look forward to reading your findings.

No benchmarks in this article (ET was also laggy), but a few thoughts were shared, and AIGLX was tested... http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=7148
If there are any specific items you would like more information on or tests, just post.

This is great!
If it works nicely, I think I'll start to leave out 'nvidia gpu' on the list of requirements for my new laptop.
Looking forward to those benchmarks and hearing how it works with xgl/aiglx.

Intel Next-Gen OSS Drivers Out!
Intel also announced a new site @ http://intellinuxgraphics.org/
The Intel Open Source Technology Center graphics team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of free software drivers for the Intel? 965 Express Chipset family graphics controller. These drivers include support for 2D and 3D graphics features for the newest generation Intel graphics architecture.
As with any free software project, this release represents only the beginning of an ongoing commitment by Intel to work with the X.org and Mesa communities to continuously improve and enhance the drivers. While these drivers represent significant work at both Tungsten Graphics and Intel?as our first release of this code?they're still in need of significant testing, tuning, and bug fixing before they will be ready for production use. We're releasing them now to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to providing free software drivers for Intel hardware.
Feel free to discuss.Tags: None
