Canonical should be looking out for their Users! and the Linux Foundation should too!!!!!
I did read something that "In November 2009, the Linux Foundation released the details of a new, rewritten Linux driver that would support this chipset and Intel's other upcoming chipsets. The Direct Rendering Manager and X.org parts would be free software, but the 3D component (using Gallium3D) will still be proprietary." and more news from Phoronix about this from November 2009 can be found here, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzY2Mg
But as you know, there's NOTHING that's been done.

I know I had a very ignorant reply back from Intel about the GMA500 driver, saying that it's down to the Distrobution to fix the problem. Maybe we (all GMA500 users) should all send a message to Intel to get them to do something.....
