maybe, and maybe not. it is probably of concern to dev's as to what |
7 |
works and what doesn't on gentoo, although this may be better thought of |
8 |
as an upstream issue. Also I saw some relevant posts from "spyderous" on |
9 |
the forums, and I think he inhabits this list. |

I thought the answer to that may have been obvious from me saying "I can find plenty |
16 |
of older info suggesting that 3d hardware accel will not work with this |
17 |
chipset, and that vesa was the only driver, but I am not sure if any of |
18 |
that has changed since 2003 " Yes I have googled and forumed. I am an |
19 |
experienced linux user, and I do know how to search for information. |
20 |
google is full of references to polish speaking email forums, its not |
21 |
the help it used to be. The gentoo forums have become a victim of their |
22 |
own success. One thread had 73 pages, and no way of knowing wheter the |
23 |
search terms are on page 2 or page 72. |

I'm sorry I just thought someone round here might have some up to date |
26 |
info. |
