This moves me on to another question: How well supported are integrated
graphics chips?
I'm afraid I know very little about integrated graphics. Am I right in

My aim is to run Kubuntu with Beryl and, whilst I will be looking for a
laptop with dedicated graphics, the majority seem to use integrated chips.
