Oh, it can be worse than that. It has been claimed that the wireless card whose details I just posted in another thread has a kernel driver that should handle it. It doesn't. As can be seen in the posting, I use ndiswrapper to wrap a manufacturer's proprietary windows driver specific to that *chip*, and have to blacklist the kernel module so it doesn't get linked in first. I don't know whether you will have to get a manufacturer's driver, nor whether you'll have to blacklist whatever driver is running the video now; what was it, Gallium 0.4 on llvmpipe?

Well, if you find one, so much the better. But it would be unusual to find a graphics chip that has only ever been used with one CPU chip.
