This is somewhat off-topic, but very interesting, especially in light of
the recent acquisition of ATI by AMD, Intel's direct competitor.

Subject: Intel Releases Next Generation Open Source Graphics Driver
Hello,
Intel recently announced that they will make the graphics driver
code for their 965 Express Chipset family graphics controller
Open Source. This will mostly impact laptop computers, where it
is more common to use the built-in graphics hardware.
Quoting from the announcement from Keith Packard at Intel:
This release represents the start of a long term effort by Intel to work
with the X.org and Mesa [Open Source] communities to continuously
improve and enhance the drivers. While these drivers represent
significant work at both Tungsten Graphics and Intel, as our first release
of this code, they're still in need of significant testing, tuning and
bug fixing before they'll be ready for production use. We're releasing
them now to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to providing free
software drivers for Intel hardware.
