I attached my xorg.conf and the file /etc/modules, which on
Ubuntu/Debian contains modules to load on boot, as they are on my
Laptop with an intel chip. PDP works with xvideo and glx, and Gem
works accelerated with that. The Intel chip also is quite fast. Of
course 3D is not as fast as many chips by ATi or NVidia, but it's one
of the fastest chipsets that have stable and good open source drivers.

Ciao

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a `#', and everything on the line after them are ignored.
# An entry named `auto' will cause the system to start kerneld immediately.
# Kerneld then loads modules on demand. `noauto' disables kerneld completely.
