I've one of the Dell Inspiron 1420n laptops with Ubuntu factory installed that came with the Intel X3100/GM965 video integrated on the motherboard. I cannot afford to simply toss this aside and buy a brand new machine. What I'd love to see is more work done to improve the xorg Intel video to support this chip and actually be able to play some games on it, namely World of Warcraft. I know that if I were to reformat the drive on it and install Windows XP, the thing would scream on Warcraft. Why can't the xorg Intel driver support the same performance on this chipset?
Developer comments
If I understand this brainstorm item, it is encouraging we "Reduce quantity of bugs with Intel driver, especially on Dell hardware." As others have already mentioned, this is better done through the bug tracker.
Indeed, I myself use a 1420n as my daily development laptop (along with other Dell hardware I test on regularly), and so bugs on 1420n are huge priority for me to work on too!
