Not really, the issue is that the system partition is mounted read only
and joined with the read-write partition via unionfs. If you update
GLib, you take away space from the already small r/w partition, even
more so if you need to update other applications also in this turn.

It is a normal intel integrated chipset, the only issue is that the
graphics memory is shared with the system memory and this is only 512MB
in the default configuration.

I will stick with an older version until I found another solution ( I do
not expect Xandros to update the distribution anytime soon.
