Not necessarily :-) I recently wrote an fbdev driver for Intel 830M and later chipsets (www.xfree86.org/~dawes/intelfb.html, and it should be in new -ac kernels). It was fun doing some graphics stuff outside of XFree86 for a change. It's basically a 2.4.x driver right now, and still needs to be ported to the latest 2.5.6x fbdev interfaces. >think you can handle the dual head/one accel engine this way.
