I have been fighting for years to fix the non-detection of my
resolution. Every release I have tried to make 915resolution issues
automatically incorporated into the install. Intel fixes these issues.
Still, I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with moving the default to
Intel for my card (855GM, 1400x1050).

Point 1 is absolutely correct and is the main reason that I hope Intel
will make the prime time as soon as possible. It does, however, have the
easy workaround of 915resolution. That workaround is only found by the
computer savvy and most average users suffer with incorrect resolutions.

Point 2 I can't agree with. I have found intel to be more buggy than
i810 (which is understandable given that it is "experimental") and the
"fixes" in the bug reports for Intel are usually very similar to the
ones that you complain about.

Overall, I have found Intel to be slower and more buggy. Far more so
than combining i810 with 955resolution. I am running Intel to try and
help find these bugs, not because I prefer it.

The compiz+intel problem has been a little glossed over here. Given that
the intel cards can often do Compiz, it will be running by default on
all the machines that we are talking about. That means that an important
feature of the system is broken in the default install. Hopefully this
is fixed by the final release.

I am sure that Intel will replace i810. My personal experience is that
it isn't yet as stable as i810.
