Yeah, Tux Racer works great on my laptop too.  That's because Tux 
Racer was fairly simplistic as a 3D game when it was released 
over 5 years ago. ;)

I'm glad to hear about the OpenGraphics project; that sounds like 
exactly what I'm after.  I hope they eventually are able to get 
something going that can be mass produced in China or Taiwan and 
sold for prices in the same ballpark as Nvidia cards are sold 
today.  In the meantime, I guess I'll have to make do with the 
fairly lame Intel and Via chipsets.
