Interesting. I remember the last time I tried updating Intel drivers - X just wouldn't start afterwards... So hopefully they can add support for openSUSE as well sometime.

Excellent
This is something I've thought to be necessary for a long time.
The repository will always be the best/linux-y way to deal with this, but the fact of the matter is that most users are accustomed to stand alone installers for seemingly disconnected items, and they should be available in the FOSS world too. Intel's chosen way of dealing with this is to make a "stand alone installer" which appears to stand alone, but calls up the distribution's repository manager to do the install. This might be the best way of all to handle this.
Thank you, Intel.Last edited by halfmanhalfamazing; 11 March 2013, 03:05 PM.

Well this should make oibaf's job easier, now he can remove the intel packages and concentrate on open source ati drivers which he does so well.

Intel Comes Up With A Linux Graphics Driver Installer
Phoronix: Intel Comes Up With A Linux Graphics Driver Installer
To make it easier to update your open-source Intel Linux graphics driver, Intel's Open-Source Technology Center has come out with a "Graphics Driver Installer" for this open-source stack, but will it work?..
