depends on the graphics board. My C100 has a HCRX8 graphics boards, which
is supported by the kernel framebuffer driver. And X is able to use this
framebuffer driver (unaccelerated at the moment). The driver currently
supports onboard 712/715new/B1xx/Cxxx graphics, Visualize-EG GSC cards,
HCRX8 and HCRX24. FX cards aren't supported, because I don't have docs 
for them, but I'm working on getting them. 710 and 715/old onboard works
with a newer kernel, which is not on the 0.9.3 ISO.
