Working video cards in 3D on Ubuntu 9.04 i386 (kernel: 2.6.28-11-generic) by jakub (5):

In Ubuntu 9.04 no need for extra configuration. It is even not necessary add a line to xorg.conf.
With kernel 2.6.28-11-generic it worked well.
Have mesa and libdrm drivers installed which is installed by default I mean.

Yes it does.
On http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation.html
and on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_GMA
I found that this integrated vga graphic is
G41 Intel® G41 Express Chipset with GMA X4500 core

If you want it to work under linux, then DON’T turn on PAVP mode in BIOS. PAVP let EG41MF-US2H motherboard settle more memory for integrated VGA and worked only windows xp drivers but not with those from http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download.html

In Ubuntu 9.04:
Add modprobe agpgart intel-agp drm i915
to your /etc/rc.local
Then add Section “Device” Identifier “your_driver_name” Driver “intel” EndSection

In my machine it worked well.
