Because the onboard graphics processor is called a 2D graphics engine, I 
would be surprised if you could get an OpenGL driver for it, and without 
OpenGL, SecondLife graphics are not possible, and without graphics, 
SecondLife is not very compelling.  You might try one of the Flash based 
virtual worlds, but I don't know if any of them run on Linux.
