Intel has made free software drivers available for all of its graphics adapters since the i810, so if it says 'Intel graphics' on the label, you can be sure that free software will support it.

The release today adds support for the brand-new i965 chips which add advanced rendering capabilities to Intel's graphics adapters, including the ability to support OpenGL vertex shaders and hardware T&L. As far as I can tell, while the hardware has been announced, it's not yet available from retailers yet.

Just to make it clear (all them model numbers are quite confusing), this is for the GMA 3000 and GMA X3000 GPU:s, right?

So can I go down to a retail store or buy over the internet an AGP graphics card and put it in my (AMD Athlon64) workstation and have Intel's open source drivers?
