Intel GMA500 - Quartz - and IWEB

Hi List, i am new to OSX86 and have a few questions:

My Idea was to run Snow Leopard on an EeePC 1101HA most of all to run IWEB.

Now i am facing some problems that have to do with the Used Grafkcard (Intel GMA 500) Quartz and Iweb.
Iweb only displays WhitePages which - after a lot of googling - has to do with bthe fact that i cannot enable Quartz/CI. Which has to do with the fact that there is not a real GMA500 driver…
I found one Link on InsanelyMac that pointed to a GMA500Enabler, but that was somehow dead.
So waht do the experts say: Will there be a GMA500 kext/enabler soon ?
Is there any kind of workaround to enable Quartz anyway or to run iWeb ??

I would very much appreciate any comment.
Luigi

Unfortunately, you're probably out of luck. The most that anyone has managed with the GMA 500 is about what you're seeing - plain 2D with no acceleration. As the GMA 500 is a vastly different from all other Intel GPU's and is not used in any real Macs, there's not much likelihood of seeing a "real" driver for it.
