   In such cases, you have to draw on Linux experts. Usually, the graphics card   
   support of X11 is pretty good to at least get a visible interface. Else,    
   NVidia   
   on intel is supported, I don't know how this applies to non-intel machines   
   though. But there are open-source Nvidia drivers around for X11 now, although   
   they're not really 3D accelerated.   
      
   Maybe hanging into IRC will get you some friendly help. You can guess my   
   moniker on IRC-net and where I hang around (except #zaurus).....
