I think the answer would be yes if you can compile the drivers and sort out any xorg issues.

but no one has posted about doing so yet

@ paul-b post your specs you might be surprised what beryl will run on

intel 945(w/PCLinuxOS) maybe on older chips haven't tried
nvidia gforce2(w/ puppy) this is about as low as you want to go for nvidia esp since mine only has 64mb vram if i open a lot of windows(15-20?) the last one i open will be black

CB88: At the moment the only dedicatetd Puppy machine I have is my laptop, a Dell C400, 1ghz Pentium 3M, 512mb ram and onboard Intel 830M graphics.

I haven't managed to get 3D acceleration working at all with my graphics chipset yet.
