The Geode LX is an i686 without PAE. It is still supported by the Linux kernel.

However, the Geode KMS driver that someone had started working on was never merged into the kernel tree. This means that xf86-video-geode won't work without the X root wrapper and it cannot be used with GNOME or any other DE that depend upon KSM-enabled drivers. It still works fine with e.g. LXDE however.
