But using onboard vga you could even use gpu accelleration already (using w7), so the diff between not working and working for video accelleration is very small...

the hd4650 is still supported by amd and you can buy this card as new in stores...
"AGP is yesterday"
yes sure...

There are a lot of 690s out there and AFIAK they are pretty well supported these days, although you need to run r300g built with llvm support in order to get decent 3D performance on workloads which require a lot of vertex processing.
Are you running with an Intel or AMD CPU ?Test signature

It's definitely an RS690/SB600. Every time I think I know the GPU, someone corrects me. (It's history for a electronics hardware guy like me to be corrected on the part number of something I own for 2-3 years :-)
It's an amd turion twincore (HP6715S), 667Mhz bus. I have got myself sorted to an extent by updating everything relevant to slackware-13.37 (xorg-server-1.9.5, mesa-7.9.2, xf86-video-ati-6.14.1) then I went for libdrm-2.4.25, pixman-0.21.8, llvm-2.9 and mesa-7.10.1, because slackware doesn't have llvm. Performance is much improved with the standard 13.37, I can't really measure, but the fullscreen stuff is a huge improvement.
If I change the xorg server, all the modules refuse to load over ABI Version nonsense. I'm up running with r300g & llvm support in Mesa anyhow, just unsure how to test it seeing as they whipped out glxgears. (It's not a test, but simply a comparison).
The hd4650 is happy in it's nappy there also on slackware-13.37 boasting of all the clever tricks it can pull, and the letters after it's name, etc., but the cpu in that box is a single core [email protected], so that's never going to be exercised too hard. I haven't bothered yet with llvm.
