Well... it's not there yet. however - Thermal control shouldn't be very hard to do. I just didn't have time yet and no hardware to test on. It should be fairly similar to the one for the previous models. - Graphics... well, I would have expected that to work "out of the box" but it appears that it doesn't. I don't know what's up there yet and I haven't had time to investigate (it's very difficult remotely). The best would be as I said earlier if somebody that lives not too far from here (Canberra) could lend me one of these machines for a couple of days so I can do some proper investigations and fix it. Once that's done, since it's an r300 type chip, I would expect it to work fine including DRI & 3D with the latest snapshots of the experimental r300 DRI.
