1.3.1(mac) on Macbook Pro 2011 17"

Interestingly, I just tried 1.3.1 with a 10 year old 27" Gen 1 i7, with a no longer supported ATI Radeon 4850 graphics card. I have it on an old 8gb SanDisk USB 1.2 Facet thumb drive. On initial start-up it choked when I selected the VESA graphics option. On restart, I selected the non accelerated option. It booted fine and it runs amazingly fast. I loaded the package Neofetch, so I could get system info and it is showing the Radeon in the output for “gpu” and not some generic “graphics”. It might be wishful thinking, but, considering how well it is running and fluid, I think it could really be using the card.
