Intel Winning Over NVIDIA For Linux Enthusiasts

Well after owning an intel based i3 system for about a month now, I honestly can't understand how anyone can say the intel drivers are in great shape in linux. I've had more graphic corruption, misdraws, sync and video playback issues with the i3's graphics then I ever had with any nvidia card that I have owned.

However, corruption is unexpected, especially with drivers from the last 6 months or so. So if you want to get your issues resolved, please try to install the latest stable set of drivers (preferrably matching the upstream releases) and if the problem persists open a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org.

Please, every time someone post something like this post your distro and its version too. Thank you.
Overall I was expecting a far better experience then I am now. The only plus was that the laptop was relatively cheap but using it for day to day work in linux is completely out of the question with the graphics being as flaky as they are. Quite honestly they are as bad as Via's binary linux blobs for the nano.

Well your i3 is ironlake, this only support h264 via vaapi. Did you try using xbmc in fullscreen? Be sure that sna is not used, that usually causes problems. xv seems to be pretty bad with intel. I did not test my i5-680 lately because i am missing a h55 board, if somebody has got a spare one send it to me.

The American based companies will stomp their feet and piss their pants while looking for the government to do some thing so that they don't have to compete. NVidia and AMD have gotten fat, lazy and stupid due to a lack of competition. But like every where else, competition is coming.
