Anyone used the Intel Linux Binary Video card drivers recently?

Do they work well?

I'm looking to build a MythTV box, and thinking of getting a
Motherboard with an integrated Intel GMA X4500HD video system... but
it would be nice to know ahead of time if the Intel driver works worth
anything in Linux... or should I stick with NVidia (which I know to
work great)?

And no, don't suggest ATI.  I've been down that road... never going back :)

Thanks,

Dan
