I'm afraid not. Someone posted about such a system on dri-devel
recently, and he couldn't get it to work with various ChipIds, the
driver failed in a very basic area like FIFO handling IIRC. Then there's
also the VRAM issue Vladimir mentioned, so the driver most definitely
needs to be adapted for those integrated chipsets. Maybe one of the
patches from ATI which Mike mentioned would address this?
