I just bought a netbook class device that is reasonably well powered (Intel Atom Z550 2GHz + Intel GMA500 + 2Gb RAM) - the GMA 500 even does Full hardware video acceleration of H.264, MPEG2, VC1, and WMV9 and DVI Digital output up to 1920 x 1200 through HDMI connector. Yet despite all that, I get the "second life is unable to run because your video card drivers are out of date or unsupported" message.
Is the GMA500 too new to be supported yet? Are there any plans or expectations when it will be? Or will it never be supported due to some fundamental short coming?
Finally, is there a way to bypass that warning and at least attempt to let SL load, and then I can tweak down the video settings once I can get to them?
Any help or suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks!
