Hi All,

I've a new laptop which is about 2 months old, and I'm looking at putting
Ubuntu on it, really because I love the idea of having the 3d rotating XGL
cube / wobbily windows... I'm a sucker for the cool effects. But I've heard
rumors about it not working with the intel graphics chip set?! - I had
imagined that it would work better with the intel chipset as their drivers
are all open ?

Anyone got any experience with this ?
