That's strange. My GMA 950 core (945 chipset) performs alright playing
Nexuiz, along with the other 3D native Linux games. 20FPS minimum at
1280x800 with rest of the graphics settings at default. Enemy Territory at
1024x768 with medium details also runs ok (no headshots from 8800GTX users,
at least). These results are of course, with 2GB RAM, so texture loading
into memory is taken care of.

In any case, there is no doubt that Intel has the best "open support" and is
much much less of a hassle. [laugh]Think black screens if you're intending
