"While Intel remains to be the only major graphics vendor
standing strong behind their classic Mesa driver on Linux for
open-source support rather than drawing up plans to move to the
Gallium3D driver architecture, there is actually available a Gallium3D
driver available for Intel hardware. This Intel Gallium3D driver has
been around since close to Gallium3D's inception, but it targets the
older generations of Intel IGPs and was developed by VMware as a proof
of concept. The driver is incomplete, but our testing shows that for
those with Intel 945 netbooks and other hardware, the "i915g" driver is
usable. In this article are benchmarks showing how this Intel Gallium3D
driver compares to Intel's officially supported classic Mesa DRI driver."
