I have two problems - One: large menu lag. I looked in the sticky, but it seems that HAL handles the hardware and will comment out any mouse/kbd rules in xorg.conf. And two: I get pings higher than 400 on servers that used to have around 100 (nexican). Here's some info that may be useful:

Add Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" to your xorg.conf ServerLayout section to disable querying hal for devices and use mouse, kbd entries.

Intel build in stuff is not really powerful. And i think you also need to install stuff like mesa and dri to get anything near good 3d performance. But i'm not too familar with intel hardware on linux. Maybe someone else has some better tips for you

I have the same video card. I hate to say this but the windows (xp) driver is working way better than the linux one. Of course you can disable a lot of stuff and play in linux. What I do is play on windows with low settings. It works just fine (almost decent fps) at 1440x900.

So far I've installed libgl1-mesa-glx and libgl1-mesa-dri. Do I need anything else?

So do I add that and then those entries in the sticky?

Well, I could always do that, but it's a bit of a chore to reboot into windows to play nexuiz (the only game I really play) and then reboot for everything else.

Dont know if this helps, but on my machine (learned to play on this one ) with a intel gma 950 card i put the following in the xorg.conf :

in Section Device insert following:

yeah and turn off compiz, with compiz switch or such.

Didn't work.

paperclips how many fps do you get with that config?

well it goes up and down alot, but one model rushing towards me on map starship 30fps.

I mean that the problem didn't go away (the mouse still lags).
EDIT: It may be important that warsow and tremulous also have menu lag, AND warsow's menu music is completely borked (same sound 'note' repeats again and again)
EDIT1: I have added nexuiz's output in the OP and also freshened the xorg.conf file shown there.

On Linux there are 2 sort of drivers: 2d maintained at xorg and 3d maintained at Mesa with OpenGL stack.

I get no menu lag when playing on native resolution, but game itself becomes unplayable.
You can try r_showsurfaces 3 but use this as a last chance.

I'm pretty sure I have mesa installed.
That config file didn't work.

Firstly, you need to uncomment mouse and keyboard sections. In the ServerLayout section add Option "AutoAddDevices" "false". This will get rid of hal (setting off AutoAddDevices) and evdev (uncommenting mouse and keyboard).
