in First look at OpenSUSE on the HP Mini-Note on Liliputing

By the way... What about XGL/Compiz effects and 3D acceleration on SLED 10?

Thanks in advance!

Korgmeister Sorry, no hardware acceleration for the VIA Chrome 9. I'm in contact with one of the key developers for X drivers for VIA chipsets (VIA's most infamous detractor - libv) and aware of the horrors he has to go through in order to get anything functional (VIA's 'support' in this area mainly consisting of random and sporadic drops of binary, not source code, which he then has to painstakingly reverse engineer in order to get something functional). Unless we get a tide of users harassing VIA for proper Linux support, they'll just continue their usual strategy of giving insincere support and then astroturfing like mad to pretend they're 110% behind Linux.

(Sorry if I sound like a FUD merchant. But I really want the HP 2133 to work, but right now a fire needs to be lit under HP and VIA so they get their act into gear.)
