It should be noted that configuration with always fail on GX1 ("nsc" driver) and GX2 ("geode" driver) hardware. This is because both chipsets share the same PCI ID and yet X.org needs to match a PCI ID with a precise driver module; it cannot be made to match on two different drivers. For this reason, support for NSC products will be imported into the unified GEODE driver sometimes later this year, on time for inclusion into Intrepid.

Hardy might also receive an SRU exception to allow uploading a backport of the updated driver with NSC support merged back in, but this will require extensive discussion with the Release Manager, before it can be allowed.

However, with the fixed xserver-xorg-core (2:1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu9.1) and xserver-xorg-video-geode (2.9.0-1ubuntu1) currently sitting in hardy-proposed and in intrepid, this should at least work on LX-based hardware.
