While Linux desktop surveys are nothing new, no recent polls have looked specifically at Linux graphics when it comes to X.Org video drivers, hardware, and related video features. We, however, at Phoronix see a need for this information to be profiled and have launched the first-annual Linux graphics survey. This survey is intended to allow the development community to get a better understanding of the video hardware in use, what open-source and closed-source drivers are being used, and other relevant information.

This survey will run from October 21 to November 21, 2007. The results of this survey will be available after it has ended. We ask that participants only submit their answers once and voting is only allowed once per IP address. This survey should only take a few minutes to complete."

No use. The support for Unichrome gfx has been bad. Since its no longer in the industry people do not bother to give support for it :( This is prolly the worst supported gfx hardware.
