There is certainly one big bug with the integrated Core i3 graphics that 
has affected us since it first came out.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/614238

This makes the VGA output unusable and from what I can tell is still not 
really fixed.

So my point is that I wouldn't be all that surprised if there are other 
bugs with Intel graphics - they have hardly had a glorious past...
