Yes, all other Linux versions use an X server and there is a closed
source driver with 3D acceleration.

The Intel PSB drivers from the Gentoo repo offer framebuffer support
and may be worth a try, but I was not able to use them yet:

http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/x11-drivers/psb-firmware/psb-firmware-0.30_p3.ebuild?view=markup

They compile fine, but seem to crash when trying to "modprobe psb"...
:-/
I'll try again as soon as I'm back from my holidays in Italy. :-)

You cannot buy it because it has no Android Market, but you can contact
me and I give you access to the beta versions: :-)
