to date i have also tried on intel gfx. 945gm and gma3150.

945gm -> performance is good. i haven't spotted any immediate bugs, but i don't
use it for long periods of time and i mostly see only the compositing in gl.
running ubuntu maverick still (10.10). i should upgrade ubuntu and try.
gma3150 -> where do i begin? running ubuntu natty (11.04). crashes if you push
it (elementary - use gl for apps instead of software). most of the time opening
a 2nd window for the same process leads to the process crashing somewhere in
mesa. it has no hardware vertex shader... so of course all the "lets generate
lots of verticies and throw them at gl" way that evas likes to work fails and
performance is horrible with high-geometry rendering (text mostly). also it
doesnt do perspective correct rendering if z buffer is off. this is the only
gpu i have ever seen this happen on. i've been squeezing evas on man gpu's
(s3x6410, sgx, mali400, nvidia (like since forever), ati/amd (ugh!), intel).

i suspect that evas brings out bugs in some implementations because it
probably does some things a bit differently and is totally hooked on shaders
and needs its shader fix to stay sane. :) cedric has an asus with an intel gpu
and has had loads of problems with intel gpu + compositing - corruptions and so
on, problems after display goes into dpms sleep etc.

of course all of these things are kind-of moot because we dont give you a nice
set of reliable kernel/drm/dri/mesa versions :) but just letting you know that
even though in m,y book, on x86, then intel gpu is 2nd after nvidia for good
driver support and being solid (yes. amd/ati are at the bottom of my list),
nvidia seems to still be on top with the most minimal set of problems.
