My current Ubuntu machine is an i810 chipset. It has a BeOS 5 partition,
which sadly only runs in safe mode! (And earlier revs of BeOS *would* drive
the chip, but I never managed to mix-and-match...) I was proposing to
upgrade the partition to Haiku at some point, so, yes, I would be
delighted with a driver that could handle it!
