This is already included: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_specification And it's confusing the heck out of people ever since someone attempted to estimate the "color resolution". It is extremely misleading. The actual frame-buffer resolution never changes, it is always 1200x900 pixels at 16 bit depth, and that's what matters to developers. - Bert - _______________________________________________ Olpc-open mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-open
