improving.intel.graphics.on.ubuntu.jaunty

Here's a link to a very helpful howto that not only improves the speed of your Intel integrated chip but also solves the Google Earth 5.0 flickering (and logging-out issues). Btw, I have an MSI PR-200 notebook with a GM965/GL960 chip running Ubuntu 9.04 64bit, the fix (or should I say work-around) manage to drastically improve glxgears frames from 600+ to 2700+ (I followed the bleeding edge option), yet remained stable with no apparent memory leaks. Hope this helps
