Comment 3 for bug 1212742

The fallback X graphics driver selected by X initialization is "modesetting". This is actually a good choice for me because it allows me to adjust my display characteristics to fit my Acer 22" monitor nicely.

Note that I have made absolutely no customization to X, the kernel graphic module selected (gma500_gfx), or the related configuration files. I have added some user applications on top of the ISO referenced above (E.g. gedit) and brought the system up-to-date after installation - but that's it for local mods. This system (Xubuntu 13.10 using X) is performing very well for me, even better than the stable 13.04. It has become my everyday desktop at home.

My motivation for trying Mir with this rig was to provide an "oddball" Intel test case. Even the Intel Linux Graphics project at 01.org is unable to detect their own hardware with their own software [(-:]. Your term "lack" seems to be apt. Had I known what I know now before I bought this motherboard, I would probably have bought something else!
