I don't have an Intel GFX card but yes if that is happening it is a big mistake. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anyone responsible for fixing this 'big picture' stuff, or maybe they're only interested in SLED. Even though OpenSuSE keeps making big strides with many things many of these 'Mistakes' are letting the distribution down making it not worth even considering for some people. Imagine if you had only ever tried 11.1, you would go off and tell your friends it didn't even support an intel 965 chip.
Hi Quentin, You must have different kind of friends than I have. If I tell mine that the 3d performance for an intel 3 numbers chip is not as good as before, they would most likely say "hmm? intel what?" Seriously: as you seem to know the details of clever business, perhaps you can help out here. We have two options at the moment: 1. skip 11.1 release and publish 11.2 in about 8 months hoping that Intel got their drivers ready to support all their chips correctly. 2. release 11.1 and basically document that all intel 3 number chips (for certain 3 numbers only of course) have to skip 11.1 and wait for 11.2 in about half a year. What's the choice you prefer? You seem to advocate option 1. Greetings, Stephan P.S.
