bazz is on a distinguished road
Default PICO-ITX Ubuntu
Is there anyway of getting hardware acceleration working on this thing? Are there any drivers that work?
I have tried these here VIA Linux Portal
but they do not work, eventhough it says you can enable 3d desktop.
Any ideas?

I use Ubuntu 8.04 with all the fancy effects on the Pico. You need the driver you downloaded and then you need the kernel patch that should be available from the same place. I think it is in the little box on the right.

I had never patched the kernel before but managed to follow the instructions provided. Be careful though, as the instructions aren't perfectly clear. Read them through a few times, and then read ahead as you work through them. I managed to do it first time. See the thread on the same topic elsewhere here. I'll see if I can find it for you.

EDIT: Here it is.
Ubuntu 8.04 unichrome patch and CX700M2 drivers

one more question...any idea how I can fix this when I try to do the patch?

~/Desktop/VIA-unichrome-patch-for-Ubuntu 804LTS/linux-source-2.6.24$ make oldconfig
Makefile:295: warning: overriding commands for target `/home/sammy/Desktop/VIA-unichrome-patch-for-Ubuntu'

make: *** No rule to make target `804LTS/linux-source-2.6.24/arch/x86/Makefile'. Stop


I have no idea why it keeps doing this.
Any ideas?

Thanks again!

Ahh! I keep forgetting to copy my xorg! Will post it Saturday, if you still want to take a look.
