Absolutely UNSUPPORTED.

If it works at all, it will be under a framebuffer or a generic SVGA driver.  
And it will most certainly not offer any 3D acceleration.

It is highly secret and windows drivers have been written but no others.  If 
you want this Kyro or other PowerVR stuff, stick with windows.

Got to www.powervr.com and confirm they offer only windows drivers.

Go to www.xfree.org and confirm that they offer NO drivers.
