Sure you can. The VIA unichrome cards have open 3D drivers. But, of course, it's not the best 3D hardware on the market. >From the vendor's perspective if getting your device supported under linux means you _need_ to release an open source driver, you will find that the best hardware is disproportionately unsupported. Nvidia has a lot more valuable IP at stake than VIA when they release an open source driver for their 3D gear. If you don't understand why, I can't help you. Lee
