You can have a look here

The main problem is that SIS has a proprietary windows driver which enables 3D acceleration , but has not produced one for linux. Th linux driver basically makes your system usable nothing else.

Even if you are able to install the drivers from the above link, dont expect any drastic performance improvements as your chip is 10 years old.

Is there an open source .NET library that can render PDFs to images (for server-side processing)? I know of PDFsharp, AFAIK it can only create and process PDFs, not render them.

  Are you looking for something that is compatible with a particular open source license or a "free as in beer" product?

  For the time being, it doesn't matter, but of course I'd prefer a permissive licence like LGPL or MIT.

  Hi I'm having the same issue but I started out with 9.04 loaded on here and the video worked great under that build, is there a way to make it use the drivers from 9.04 under the newer 10.04?

  And the close votes for this (9 year old) question is the reason I am no longer active on this site.

+1: GhostScriptSharp is awesome.

To me it seems that it can only create PDFs, not render them. Just like PdfSharp. Is this a wrong impression?

I believe I misread the question are you looking to display a pdf in a form?

I've decided to just not use the box and use and old Dell laptop with an Intel something in it, but this might help those who have no other choice.

@MattEphraim I think your wrapper violates on the AGPL license of ghostscript. You should probably verify this and clarify in the readme file on github.

Yes, itextsharp does a lot of things, and does them well, but rendering is not one of the things it does. Great for grabbing existing text and form data, though.
