The tag and title refers to chipset, not driver. You can find the
chipset you are using with `lscpi -vvnn` or by looking for Chipset in
Xorg.0.log. There are different names for the different drivers. The
2D driver used to be called i810, but is currently called intel. Then
there is the i915 kernel module, i915 and i965 mesa 3D drivers, etc.
Bugs often only occur on only one chipset even though the same driver
is used (currently there are many reports of freezes with 845G and
855GM, but not many on 865G, 915G and 945G, for example, even though
they use the same driver).
