Compiz doesn't support or not support specific hardware - it relies on the OS & drivers to provide that support. OpenSolaris & Solaris only provide the required level of OpenGL acceleration for graphics from nvidia (all chipsets supported by one of the nvidia accelerated drivers, either bundled with the OS or downloaded from nvidia.com), Intel (i915 and newer chipsets supported by the Solaris port of DRI), and ATI (a very limited set of Radeon cards supported by the Solaris port of DRI - only the X700 by default, though others may be manually enabled). For more information on the DRI port & which chipsets it supports, see: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/dri/ -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering
