Re: Re: [x50v] PowerVR ARM linux opengl es drivers

I've got an X50v upgraded to WM2005, it has some serious issues.
White screen, performance stuck at full (very quick battery drain)/low
(slow as molasses), serious power drain (even while off) with my CF
card, and my CF card randomly goes missing. All this, and I've only
had it since Halloween.
