My .0002c worth.
I suggest you read this:

to get an idea of what people who will BUY your product think...
If I understand you correctly, then you feel it is ok if the native driver ONLY provides for a (kind of) visible screen at 800x600 and a color depth of 8bpp SO LONG as it is accelerated?? I have to *cough* disagree and I would venture to say most (if not all) consumers of your product would agree. List, please correct me if I am wrong here.
Regards,
Jason

My screen was barely visible with ANY of Mandrake's combo's...with Knoppix it is beautiful. I don't care which driver gets used, so long as it works!! Does acceleration matter if you can't see the screen first!!??? I would say the most important thing is to be able to see the screen!!For every user that feels that way, there is another user who knows just enough about hardware to know that in Windows it has acceleration and will badmouth $DISTRO because it doesn't do acceleration. It doesn't matter that XFree86 is the one that does or does not have the support, $DISTRO is the most convenient target. - -- | MandrakeSoft USA | Sometimes you get what you want. | | http://www.mandrakesoft.com | Sometimes you get experience. | | http://www.mandrakelinux.com | --unknown origin | Cooker Version mandrake-release-9.1-0.1mdk Kernel 2.4.20-1mdk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux)iD8DBQE99RqOlp7v05cW2woRAoN5AJ9sZTdpMCTMfFSYFYYfDUKpYcooIwCgnbUm whRBLGG/bUtCEvfF0vQt8DM= =UucY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
