Yes, they are changing the driver architecture - for the better. The problem is not with the drivers, but with distributions that package drivers, that are known not to work, without any alternative. Unfortunately every newer Ubuntu release seems less stable - super new suff included, but no one seems to care if the new stuff works.

Actually with intel driver 2.6.3, xorg 1.5.3 and linux 2.6.28 it performs well (with UXA) without hangups or something (compiled from source using gentoo ebuilds). I think that for full performance you should have xorg 1.6 (already released) and linux 2.6.29. I'm curious if they will package working xorg(+gem enabled linux) set for jaunty...
