I have a vn800 chip in my laptop and for most of the time on it I have had to use the vesa driver, which doesn't control the back light or offer video acceleration or anything really. But recently there has been a driver that actually worked with the back light and video acceleration, but I still am not able to use an external monitor without restarting the computer, restarting X doesn't even work, nor am I able to display anything at a different resolution without garbling the screen. It looks like these things are being worked on. Then perhaps someday I'll even be able to have desktop effects.

Too bad the celeron doesn't have CPU scaling. I suppose you can't expect very much from a cheap laptop.
