Re: Linux on X50

I contacted Intel and one guy gave some info to us, i also tried to
contact with PowerVR (the ones of the 3D accelerator on the x50v) and
didn't answer my mail. About Dell... i haven't contacted them because i
read someone already did it and didn't get anything, but perhaps we
should try again.
