3D acceleration on Intel 915 gfx chip (Sony Vaio)

[Neil Bird]

   I'm struggling to find out whether the default (i810) xorg driver should 
be capable of doing decent 3D with my Centrino-based 915 driver (on a Sony 
Vaio).

   The last Intel-shipped driver code is dated 2004, and doesn't compile; 
all the pointers indicate that the laest xorg drivers are the best, but 
glxgears and beryl are right CPU hogs.

   Anyone any ideas?  Am I missing a bit of xorg.conf magic?
