I am in the same situation as many above: Dell Vostro 1310 with GM965 running Intrepid Ibex. It's a Core 2 Duo with 4GB of ram. The graphic performance is clearly incoherent to the hardware capabilities.

On Hardy, the performance was good, no slow scrolling issues and a (at least) 2 times higher FPS rate in many apps (including glxgears).

I see almost no improvement using all the Options in xorg.conf described here or in (many) other places. Glxgears always give me something around 250 to 400 fps which I consider to be very low. I have attached xorg.conf.

How does this situations work? Are we waiting for a fix from Intel or from the community? Is there a time schedule so we know how much more to wait? Are there beta fixes we can try? Where? Either way, will there be a new automatic update to Ibex that will fix this? Or is this something that will only be fixed in the next release of Ubuntu?

Thanks,
Effenberg
