For some months, I own a Samsung Q35 laptop which is powered by a Mandriva 2007.0.

As describe in its technical specification this machine include an Intel GMA 950 GPU . lspci give us more details: 

00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/PM/GMS, 943/940GML and 945GT Express Memory Controller Hub (rev 03)
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

This chipset is recognized out of the box by drakconf and thanks to this GUI, I was able to setup X.org with AIGLX in no more than 2 clicks!

Here are some screenshots of the resulting 3D desktop:

As you can see there is still some bugs but I had to test many software to find one which had problems with the 3D desktop. Except Celestia , everything was working as usual. Beside this, I just had to redefine some shortcuts in Compiz (to match the default KDE shortcuts) and I was feeling at home! :)
