In such cases, you have to draw on Linux experts. Usually, the graphics card
support of X11 is pretty good to at least get a visible interface. Else, 
NVidia
on intel is supported, I don't know how this applies to non-intel machines
though. But there are open-source Nvidia drivers around for X11 now, although
they're not really 3D accelerated.

Maybe hanging into IRC will get you some friendly help. You can guess my
moniker on IRC-net and where I hang around (except #zaurus).....
