I do not believe these cards are 3D capable. We had issue's hooking these up to two screens. Under those circumstances, the redrawing speeds of these start to go downhill.
But that could be the thinpro not (fully?) supporting the 'color card'. Our external IT supplier mentions that these do not have a graphics card, but a simple color card (no idea what it means).

Essentially if you have lacking 2d accel, you will want to open a bug for openchrome (or uni* if you use that one), perhaps hire someone to look at it if you care enough.
For all I care, these things are severely overpriced for what they do. I'd rather have those intel NUC's with decent GPU.

Getting full and proper display support is much much harder than getting 3d. It's only for hypermaxxed devices that it is hard, as those things are way too unstable for their own good.
And i am amazed that people still would argue differently today.Last edited by libv; 10 January 2015, 03:36 PM.

Exhibit B: no working via 3d in 2015.

Reply to exhibit A: James only now added patches to get DVI on VT1632 working.
Reply to exhibit B: There was a working VIA 3d driver since 2003, but nobody cared enough, so it was thrown out of mesa 3 years ago.
Surely you can do better than that, especially to the man who pioneered modesetting, and who did so on VIA hardware, and who REs ARM GPUs these days.
