Just the typical integrated Intel 94x something. Considering that I want
FOSS drivers, hardly a crap choice when I was buying this notebook.

Is there some Wiki page or something, listing proper driver switches for
using composing Metacity? I am really happy about Metacity providing a
composition manager. I'd absolutely like to use it.

I just want to question the assumption, composition managers would be
default those days. At least with Intel cards - AFAIK - composition is
far too slow still to be activated by default. Well, and those cards
are pretty common those days.

Good move.
