Everyone is aware of the bug, but Intel nor anyone else has fixed it.

Do you happen to have a bug number?

You don't mean https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18389

doesn't seem to be it; it covers only performance issues.

That IS the main issue with that chipset. The other problems I'm having with the desktop are KDE 4.* problems.

I don't have any 3D acceleration at all with my GMA 3100 which worked (although not well) with a previous Kernel,which seems like a major regression, and hard freezes with X3100 and GMA 4500 where even the console isn't accessible anymore and magic sysresq keys don't seem to work either.

Intel is dropping the ball on their commitment to Linux, I fear. The code is open, however, so I guess there's no reason to not have drivers working well for all Intel chipsets. 11.0 ran fine on this laptop, so yes.....there's been a "regression" alright!
