In the case of intel, that would have meant letting us the choice to use "i810" for xorg and "ipw3945" for wifi also in hardy and intrepid. "i810" does not recognise my card anymore if I try to use it manually. Intel has deprecated both drivers but someone should go there and ask them why they maintain their linux driver at a much lower level than their windows ones. If official representatives of ubuntu go there we have some chances. If normal users like me ask better support on linux, they get ignored. In the meantime, yes, I think that ubuntu should have left ipw3945 and i810 working on the hardware they supported - but maybe for ipw3945 it was not feasible. For i810, it still is, don't know why it does not want to recognise my card. For VGA out I really think I've not seen any recent laptop taking it right on ubuntu, we are far beyond the 15% here I think but without a serious analysis we can't know.
