My experience with the Intel drivers and a motherboard with the Intel
G31 chipset is bad.  The new 'no xorg.conf' setup gets very lost on my
system and although X itself is stable when I exit (to the gdm login
screen) it sometimes crashes.  I also can't get CTRL/ALT/n to work at
all, it goes to an unusable video mode.

I think there's something decidedly lacking still in the way that the
Intel drivers configure themselves to the screen resolution.
