Artsd is part of KDE, but I think it will be dropped with KDE 4.x series.There is esd, which is a sound deamon for gnome that pretty much sucks. There is artsd, which is a sound deamon (background proccess pretty much) that will take sound and mix it before sending it to the sound card. There is Dmix, which is a built in plugin software mixer you can use with the sound alsa drivers. There are several ways to do it, and each way is a uncomplete solution. It would use the i915 driver and that would be aviable out of the box on any of the currently modern distros.2d support will be fine, even on older distros.for soundThe sound is a simple onboard affair with no support for hardware mixing.This would require you, if you want more then one sound at a time, to setup software mixing. You'd probably have to install drivers from DRI's cvs to get full support for 3d graphics.edit:(also drm support has been added for the 915 drivers to kernel 2.6.12)for DRM defination: DRI: expect that the next generation of Distros with new X.org versions will be able to support it out of the box.I am not sure about this. I don't think that you'd find a distro right now that will support GMA950 directly out of the box.There are open source drivers for it, but they are relatively immature.
