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

Well hopefully linux will be able to throw on them soon enough so we
don't have to worry about WM5 making our axims suck so much. I have a
X50v as well.. but no WM5... and I think I'm going to leave it that
way after what Ive heard so far. My friend who recently got the X50v
with WM5 is also having a lot of these same issues.. and as well for
him.. his wifi just wont work :( its pretty bad.
