Has a owner of one 915GM

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |  grep -i chipset
(II) intel: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810,
(II) intel(0): Integrated Graphics Chipset: Intel(R) 915GM
(--) intel(0): Chipset: "915GM"

I use Fedora 12 + intel-2.9.1 (rpm -qi xorg-x11-drv-intel)
Name        : xorg-x11-drv-intel
Version     : 2.9.1
Vendor: Fedora Project
Release     : 1.fc12                     
Build Date: Mon 26 Oct 2009 03:30:37 PM WET

And things work pretty well, composite, quake , 3D games etc. 

Just fedora updated (out of the box)
kernel-PAE-2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686
libdrm-2.4.18-2.fc12.i686
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.6-3.fc12.i686
