The most insane graphical experience you've ever had with open drivers

[Dustin2128]

A little background: My integrated intel graphics card has zero linux support, so I'm forced to use open drivers which actually aren't that bad now, compared to two or three years ago when I had to enable propritary drivers to get compiz to work at all on my desktop with a dedicated nvidia card. I got bored due to an internet outage so I tried to see how many effects I could have going at once while using compiz fusion and lxde. I had flames on the screen, rain, 3D windows, gears, animated skydome, and a translucent desktop cube all running at once with minimal slowdown.

By open drivers, you mean the ones from Intel Linux Graphics or the ones from xorg?

There are no closed source Intel graphics drivers for Linux. As far as I remember they always been open source.

well the thing is that I can't find the driver for my particular card so I really have to use xorg open drivers. Which are quite excellent compared to the state a few years ago. Still can't play regnum like I could when this laptop ran vista, but oh well.
