Re: first Successful x50v boot

Fantastic! :D

I use the USB cradle that comes with the x50v, so if there's anything
that can be done with USB i'd probably be able to do it.

I neither have any experience with framebuffer and drivers, but i'll try
to help you after next tuesday (it's my last exam, yay!).

Congrats ;)
