Aside from the one-week outage due to an introduced issue in the cutting-edge
version of the driver, it has been working
well.  I run KDE 3.x (i.e., 2D desktop) with no problems, and also ppracer
(a.k.a. tuxracer) and foobillard for 3D games.  Here is the glxgears
rating results as given by the offical http://www.free3d.org/ script

2.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)

12390 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2477.976 FPS
12444 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2488.676 FPS
12443 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2488.600 FPS
12435 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2486.994 FPS
12444 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2488.789 FPS
12444 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2488.792 FPS

That rating is roughly 3rd in the 1024x768 class which is not bad for
embedded graphics.
