To all vortex86 device owners - does the on board XGI Volari Z7, Z9, Z9s, Z9M, Z11, Z11M have any kind of Direct3D and / or OpenGL support?

I'm a bit interested in getting one, and I'm curious if I can run any 3d accelerated games on the thing, and if so, what the performance is like.

I am not an owner, but the Z series is 2D only, so no suport.

That's... slightly disappointing, but it makes sense considering the use case.

I asked because I noticed they have 32mb of vram - for 2d only 8mb would probably be enough. I also remember reading someware that the ZGI z series was also used in some tablets or some other mobile device, and supported some 3d acceleration features like texture filtering. Maybe it was another XGI chipset and I'm misremembering...
