Hi Adam,

There has been a recent update to the Intel drivers, but I am not sure if
those are in any distribution to try:
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/

Maybe the latest Ubuntu Karmic?

Also, you can do some playing around with different options. Because the
whole graphics infrastructure has almost been completely reworked in Linux,
there is a lot of new code that hasn't solidified yet. See for example:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/UxaTesting

For a very very useful reference reading, see:

Cheers,

    Albert.
