After this blunder, the regular express or ISO based mechanism of BIOS update refused to work. Thanks to the recovery BIOS mechanism on my Intel board, I removed the jumper pins (see manual for your BIOS), put in the CD with .bio file burnt on it.
NOTE:
- .bio is the recover BIOS. Burning
- .bio from Windows burner created a UDF filesystem on the CD, which the failed to work.
I had to force a iso9660 file format from my Linux partition and recover. After the recovery BIOS update, I put back the jumper pins and got back to normal work. My Intel 3D graphics problem on Linux is not yet completely gone, but I do hope to debug it more and not hear back (update BIOS) when I ask for help
In summary, stop believing your search results if you want to be productive :)

Hey, Balbir. What motherboard is this? I'm curious to know how 3d acceleration performs with Intel hardware.
This is DG45ID, 3D acceleration works quite well under windows and for some cases under Linux (beware your system can freeze as well at times). The Vista score though is not impressive for Intel graphics media accelerator, but I can get my games to work well.
Do you use WINE at all, for gaming under Linux? What games have you had success with?
I'm toying with the idea of doing a new box build, using Ubuntu... But I'm not too sure about getting Steam-games to work.
