Hi, I have one of these as well. Didn't know if it was accelerated or not, used the radeonkms driver. It ran with 11-1 stable for a while, nice n sharp screen. What made me install linux mint was the fact that I couldn't dim the screen on freebsd. It was stuck at 100%. cpufreq couldn't work with the chip. These two things were a bit of a dealbreaker for me with this netbook. That was with 11-stable of a while ago now. I'll give 12-current and that new drm-next-kmod a spin. My previous dmesg on freebsd and linux are at https://www.zyxst.net/txt/amd-c70-netbook/ -- J.
