Balderdash!  Intel appears to be working quite hard to make graphics on 
Linux work well.  They're certainly putting money into developing the 
drivers.  The problem currently seems to be that a lot of different 
areas of the driver have been re-architected at once, and rapid 
development has never been known to produce good quality.  Sad, but 
true.  We'd probably be better off if there were a "stable" branch of 
the Intel driver.
