You're joking, right? You're declaring the intel X support to "work
very well, performance-wise" based on a game? Serious workstation

No joke. For me it works very well, for what I want it to do, and for
95% of all users. I am not NASA or Los Alamos, however.
The average user who just wants decent performance (i.e., playable
games) without upgrade nightmares (syncing kernels + modules, X crashes
after distro upgrade, etc, etc) the Intel approach is painless and
under-appreciated.
The free ATI and nvidia drivers were awful, for me - visible performance
problems.
The closed nvidia driver works well, as long as you don't upgrade kernels.
I could never make the closed ATI drivers work, at all.
The intel driver appears to work just as well as the nvidia driver did,
for me. And they JUST WORK!
