My Intel onboard 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller used to run glxgears at blinding speeds with FC4 and I didn't even have to install a driver for it on my eMachines T5026.
The driver comes with FC5 of course. Not sure why you think you need to install a driver elsewhere.
It just worked great out of the box on FC4. Now with FC5 (in the absence of glxgears which apparently I can't get on FC5)
Except that you are wrong, and glxgears is part of FC5.
my 3d graphics and screensavers run jerkily and seem sluggish. Firefox 1.5 rendering time is abysmal compared to Firefox 1.0.7 on FC4 on this same machine. It has a 3 GHz P4 processor for heaven's sake. It should run FC5 like the wind.
That's why it is a test release, to find bugs. Don't use test releases if you expect flawless OS operation and perfect performance.
