 The graphics card on the Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t is not accelerated</h4><p>This problem is currently being addressed by Gregoire Sutre, on his netbsd-drmgem branch on github: <a href="https://github.com/gsutre/netbsd-drmgem">https://github.com/gsutre/netbsd-drmgem</a>.<br></p><h4>Software acceleration is buggy with modular-xorg-server</h4><p>Using modular-xorg-server with the "vesa" driver (while the accelerated Intel driver gets fixed) is barely usable, as windows are not fully drawn correctly. Running xterm with anti-aliased fonts is an easy way to reproduce the issue.</p><p>It seems to be related to acceleration issues rather than a specific video driver, maybe when no DRI driver could be loaded. I have yet to determine if both EXA and XAA exhibit the issue.</p><p>Also noteworthy is the requirement for the Xorg executable to be linked with libpthread for the DRI modules to load correctly.<br></p><h3>Input handling<br></h3><h4>The wstablet framework must be updated (and merged)</h4><p>The wstablet framework was being worked on as part of a Google Summer of Code project in August 2008, see <a href="http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/projects/wscons/">http://netbsd-soc.sourceforge.net/projects/wscons/</a>.</p><p>Unfortunately,
  it seems that the results of this project have not been merged to
 NetBSD, nor significant enough to be useful for touchscreen integration
