Intel

915

Works perfectly with xf86-video-intel-2.0. Compositing works fine.

i945

Works flawlessly with xf86-video-intel-2.0 and xorg-server-1.3 (be sure to use intel as driver in xorg.conf, or don't use xorg.conf at all). Native resolution (1440x900) automatically detected by driver eliminating the need for 915resolution. Compiz-Fusion runs without a hitch, resuming from suspend/hibernate may cause the background not to render properly, but this is easily fixed by rotating the cube.

x3100/GM965

Works with xf86-video-intel-2.0.
