(Get the code!)
I'm afraid I should not say it's working fine. The 3D performance is way too slow. I get about 880 fps in glxgears (using a Dell Inspiron 1525 Core 2 Duo 2.0 Ghz and 3 GiB RAM) whereas even my old laptop with a sempron 3100+ (1.8 Ghz), 640 MB RAM and 128 MB ATI Radeon Express 200M (shared memory) which is not known to be fast, makes it to about 1100 fps.
This appears to be a problem with the default driver used in Hardy. I'm not able to compile the appropriate driver offered by Intel. I was only able to compile the DRM. After installing the DRM Kernel module I was not able to apply direct rendering. For this reason I reinstalled Hardy. I use the default driver without desktop effects and slow performance rather than no direct rendering.
