Yeah, Tux Racer works great on my laptop too. That's because Tux
Racer was fairly simplistic as a 3D game when it was released
over 5 years ago. ;)
I'm glad to hear about the OpenGraphics project; that sounds like
exactly what I'm after. I hope they eventually are able to get
something going that can be mass produced in China or Taiwan and
sold for prices in the same ballpark as Nvidia cards are sold
today. In the meantime, I guess I'll have to make do with the
fairly lame Intel and Via chipsets.
