So I notice that eeePC 1001P can handle a pretty high resolution whereas my 1005HA, on Ubuntu, flickers when I even alt+tab. I looked for drivers and it seems they're all bundled into Ubuntu already.
Did I bog down my Ubuntu install, or is linux just worse at GMA than Windows?

Intel graphics are still a work in progress, but see the support matrix for some examples. If you have the very latest drivers and software it seems to work well. I'm not sure if Ubuntu has the very latest.

Doesn't seem to mention ASUS on the support matrix. That clears up a lot actually. – digitxp – 2011-01-01T04:10:56.823

it might be related to the default inclusion of compiz if you are using the latest ubuntu. ripping out compiz might get you some better results(this may preclude you from the latest gnome packages though and force you into xfce or some other alternate desktop)

I'm on Gnome Shell (Mutter) because Unity wouldn't handle my hardware ... – digitxp – 2011-01-01T02:48:59.983
i'm using an older acer aspire and got it all tweaked with the intel onboard video working well and actually at a HIGHER resolution than windows supported...idk how or why – RobotHumans – 2011-01-01T02:50:56.197
Linux is worse at specific GMA models, afair – Sathyajith Bhat – 2011-01-01T03:25:46.440
@Sathya this is a GMA 950, FYI. – digitxp – 2011-01-01T03:35:03.300
so I gather from the title, but I'm not sure which models are the problematic ones – Sathyajith Bhat – 2011-01-01T03:39:37.790
