I'm using Gentoo amd64 (xf86-video-intel 2.1.1, kernel 2.6.26-gentoo-r4) and 
I've only encountered one single problem with the Intel driver (or X?): 
sometimes, on shutdown, my laptop freezes. Nothing besides the power button 
helps, but this is so rare, it never bothered me.

I have an Intel 945GM/940GML (dell latitude D520).
