    Hi, i'm using linux (Suse 10.1) on my 5102, i want to install XGL (3d desktop) but ATI Xpress 1100 (built in 5102) don´t support 3d aceleration (appear disable), i think the problem is the driver,i have download last version from ati (64 bits) but same result....

    Anyone has full aceleration in linux with this laptop or this graphic card?

    :eek: :eek: :eek:

    I'm going to give it a shot using ubuntu. I have the same 5102 with Xpres 1100 grphics card. I'll let you know if it works.

    I been planning on trying this out, but never did cause I didn't see the need without a touchscreen.
