I really like Ubuntu, but I always had to switch back to Windows just because I couldn't get my Intel HD Graphics 3000 to work. So, 11.10 came out and I'm trying to get things work in this update, so I can finally stay with Ubuntu and use it. Anyways, things seem to be more stable here, but they're still a bit fishy.

I'm doing tests with Minecraft. Currently, there's only 1 minor bug. The game flickers from time to time and the colors get buggy or something

enter image description here

I read that maybe I should update to kernel 3.1? Maybe 32-bit Ubuntu is better?

It was impossible to play Minecraft in 11.04, but 11.10 is so much more stable.
