Seriously, do you think that low-end ATI/Intel hw in those laptops will work in a decent way even with D3D? The problem is the hw there, not the drivers ... Integrated graphics simply doesn't work for 3D except for very basic stuff and the driver will be the least of your problems. You will be hard pressed to find any recent game running on integrated Intel GPUs. And that is pure D3D, not a layer of emulation on top of it. You do not go racing Formula 1 cars with a Trabant or Yugo ...
