As you can see, there's no agpgart support for ATI's IGP chipsets yet, which means right now you'd probably only be able to get 2D accel (with MMIO) at best. > > > b) The ATI Mobility U1 is sufficiently different from the other ATI > > > Mobility chips to cause a kernel panic on auto-detect. > > > > Not sure how autodetection by 'the kernel' (do you mean the DRM?) would > > cause a panic, you'd have to provide more information to tell. > > Again, my mistake for being unclear.

All the initial reviews I saw on IGP 320M said it's a Radeon VE/7000 core (no TCL), but mention a possible new revision coming at the end of this year or beginning of 2003. Also the Radeon IGP pages on ATI's site just call it a "RADEON core" and don't mention "Charisma EngineTM", which is their name for TCL (see the Radeon 7500 page), although the features page refers to a "broad line of chips that are pin-compatible": http://mirror.ati.com/technology/hardware/radeonigp/features.html http://mirror.ati.com/technology/hardware/radeonigp/rigp320m.html You might want to try a Radeon 7000/VE or Radeon Mobility (M6?)
