By an nVidia one, the Intel driver and KMS implementation is really not
ready. No console back to X.org, if X crashes you have to reboot, if you
want to change of WM/DE you have to reboot=85 and display is slow, even o=

my 15" screen. A little nVidia + blob driver will do better work than
Intel one.
