unless I try to run something that uses OpenGL I have completely failed
to notice that it's unaccelerated.

Aside from the 3D acceleration and the modem most stuff is already
supported to at least a reasonable. I think the only things I've not
tried are PCMCIA (I'm pretty sure that's supported), IR and the video
