I thought Intel had mended their ways and were producing drivers or 
documentation or something.  Not that I would know, I've always found 
their built-in business graphics lacking.  It just sticks in my mind 
that in the last year they changed emphasis to challenge nVidia in the 
linux market with fully open/supported drivers.

Or was I smoking something that day?
