Hoping the latest version would help me from new hardware headaches, I just installed Jaunty on my thinkpad x200. Networking works out of the box. 1280x800 resolution is also OK without a xorg.conf. I see intel driver,dri,drm are working from the log. But 3D accel always fails. I tried quake 3 and glxutils. These apps all reports they are using software accel-ed mesa drivers. Jaunty mesa version is 7.3-devel. I downloaded a mesa version(7.2). It didn't help either.

glxheads: exercise multiple GLX connections (any key = exit) Usage: glxheads xdisplayname ... Example: glxheads :0 mars:0 venus:1 Name: :0 Display: 0x80bf008 Window: 0x1e00002 Context: 0x80c8260 GL_VERSION: 2.1 Mesa 7.2 GL_VENDOR: Brian Paul GL_RENDERER: Mesa X11

Please help. Xorg.0.log is attached. Thanks a lot.

everything will get better for intel drivers once dri2 and gem is integrated to the kernel (which is soon)

But how can I solve it now? Is there a version of kernel in development that includes all you said?
