They just seemed to make a bigger fuss about the 965 because it's got more current-generation features supported like shaders.

Have a look at http://bin-false.org/?p=17 - ignore the first part about installing Ubuntu on a MacBook, and skip to the part about AIGLX. As far as I can tell these instructions work with any i810 driven chipset - for me so far they work on a MacBook (which also uses the 950) and two generations of Sony T series (which use a 945 and an 855 if I remember).

Bottom line: don't rely on the press to ask all the right question :) I may have spoke to soon - saw a discussion on LKML that Intel may not be opening up all their code for the drivers - looks like they tried to split it up.
