Doesn't currently work out of the box, needs some patches.
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2007-November/018614.htmlWill probably have a PR submitted next week for the port, kagesenshi reports that it's in Fedora already. We will try to get into a habit of submitting to upstream as soon as possible for anything we work with.
The P133 is definitely a trip down memory lane. Anybody remember S3? The card has a whopping 2MB of memory that gives us 1024x768x16K colours. Amazing how far things have come since then. Not entirely practical, but it proves the point that even with this old hardware, you can still get work done if you have an XDMCP server setup at your workplace.
Meetup
Don't forget that the
MyOSS meetup is tonight at the usual place and time, except it's today, a Wednesday. Simon Phipps of Sun is presenting so if you wanted to know more about their open source projects like OpenSolaris, OpenJDK etc and how you can participate, don't miss it.
MyGOSSCon
We're at Booth B5 Thursday and Friday. Feel free to hang out with us there, we're not marketing droids. I was thinking that some bean bags would be great to have there. Me and Kagesenshi will sit around barefoot like CmdrTaco. Though I don't think MAMPU would allow us to do that.
