noriego Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I know that it uses a newer intel graphics chip that may make things more difficult.

purlah Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I know that it uses a newer intel graphics chip that may make things more difficult. Theres an assumption that QE/CI is mandatory to make an osx machine usable. I ran without hardware acceleration on a Dell laptop (also purchased because of pixel density) for almost a year before I bothered to fix the drivers, because nothing I do ever requires it. Are you planning to do video editing or watch full-screen movies on your UMPC? If not, I would expect that just being able to drive it at the correct refresh and resolution should be more than sufficient for many uses. So, can we make this work, despite the GMA550, without hardware acceleration? I suspect so, and as soon as someone confirms this, I will buy one.
