@Dirk Heinricks: Buying intel because they have the best open-source driver support would be a good idea... if Intel cards weren't so darn wimpy :-(
I don't really understand why AMD and Nvidia keep releasing their drivers as proprietary anyway, it's not as though doing it that way lets them make more money. It just doesn't make any sense.
Anyhoo...
Hmm... according to
http://
they only say that they won't develop the drivers any more feature-wise. They do say that they'll continue to release "critical updates", which ought to include upgrading to allow for the latest X server. Maybe they just haven't gotten around to it yet, even though they've upgraded their more recent drivers, but if that page is anything to go by there's still a good chance they might update the legacy driver eventually or even soon.
But, in the meantime, the only workaround I see is downgrading to an older version of X which is supported by the legacy driver.
