Hi,
An old VIA mini-itx board has died after 5 years continuous use and I
want replace the m/board (low power and case size is useful to me). I
use it as a desktop machine so looking for better than VESA fb graphics
support but not used for games so not looking for stellar 3D performance.
VIA seem to have all but dropped out of the retail market, all I can
find is the VIA VE-900 with VX900 which seems to be too bleedin' edge
for openchrome support for a year or so.
So I am looking at the Gigabyte GA-D525TUD with a Intel GMA 3150. The
only references I can find on marc.info are from 2 years ago and implies
it has been supported since OBSD 4.8. It is not listed under the
intel(4) driver. Can anyone confirm it is supported? And if so which
driver is used?
One alternative is the Intel D2700MUD with an Intel GMA 3650 which seems
to be a re-badged PowerVR. But all I can google up is that Intel have
no open-sourced their drivers so seem unlikely to be supported by OBSD.
Any experiences with using OBSD for desktop use on mini-itx boards much
appreciated. FWIW the case is small (wont support a video card) with an
80W supply a HDD and a DVD drive, so a socketed m/board is not an option.
