define "best video experience" - emgd driver slower. not think internet speed different drivers. "office jobs" faster gma500_gfx provides faster graphics.

general consensus people should start gma500_gfx driver works default, gives better performance, requires least effort maintain, , makes least changes system.

rather advising people install emgd, list needed for, short list.

sure include disadvantages in emgd inconsistent xorg 1.10 (although may work you, not work everyone) , people need downgrade xorg , use custom ppa.

well, agree 1 thing, it's safer downgrade xorg ppa, appart :

few things :
- optimized kernel
- right grub command line
- optimized 10-emgd.conf

i'm able browse internet while compiling newer kernel, or viewing latest tv show in 576p or 720p while playing little game card next it.
, of transparence ( xcompmgr ), ,
~350 point glxgears.

little netbook it's way expected, , far windows xp experience well.

little note post : i'm libva 1.15 works emgd 1.10 , mplayer-vaapi ( 201202 )

resume of story :
no, emgd not "slow", needs more adjustments it's job, that's all. it's reason made little forum share experience , findings.

best regards,
niop

i have referred matter staff review. not think should allow activity here. support ubuntu.

sort of comparing apples oranges. can compile custom kernels well.

@ issue pushing personal project, custom kernels custom iso, , such support not necessary gma500.

asked move 3rd party kernels / iso personal web site , on forums support in either ubuntu repositories or gma500 ppa.

packages in gma500 ppa marked experimental, not think should advising experimental drivers masses.
