I read here somewhere that there's preliminary support for the AMD Fusion architecture available for the latest Radeon open-source driver. What's the situation with using the older drivers from last quarter's (Oct-Dec 2010), Linux distros such as Ubuntu 10.10? Is it the same with Intel Sandy Bridge, which reportedly will not even boot with the Vesa driver? So what precisely will/won't work with AMD Fusion, with regard to:
(a) booting into a console (I suspect this will at least work)
(b) starting X (with at least the VESA driver)
(c) starting X with the Radeon driver
(d) hardware graphics acceleration (I suspect 3D won't work, what about XVideo and friends?)
TIA
