19 Not exactly, xorg 7.1 supports the G965 with the 1.6.5 intel driver.
20 You'll even get hardware acceleration if you are running a recent
21 enough kernel (2.6.20 works well). Theres some caveats tho - AIGLX
22 didn't work until the 7.2 and if you don't have an 'classic' 4:3
23 screen resolution then you need to be running the lasted masked in
24 portage ~ 7.3.
