Actually, it's a combination of the two. For example, this particular
chipset couldn't get up to the 1280x800 resolution under any
circumstances with the Hoary vanilla i810 driver.



But, in Breezy, the default X server is OK out-of-the-box, just not as
fast as the freedesktop.org compile-your-own i810 driver.
