Intel's integrated graphics is pretty well supported even with 3D (and better than most in 2D), and Intel documents their hardware. It helps if you have one of the newer dual-DDR-400 setups, since the Intel stuff is UMA and will eat main-memory bandwidth. The ATI R200-based cards tend to work well with DRI too, and are typically higher performance than the integrated chipsets (ie you can actually play most games comfortably). Linus
