Hi Ed, Wad, Chris et al,
Awesome new hardware!
That's one thing I loved about working at HW companies, the longer you
survive the more hurdles you cross.
IMHO 3D/2D is better than 2D only, if you can get it to work.
I see bigger value in the video acceleration and input. The video

I do not know. I tried to download the specification to their processor
and gave up after seeing the massive registration and request forms
required. It is clearly ridiculous. If somebody has the spec please put
it onto the wiki, please.

It's worth remembering that the only existing driver that supports either

But this should improve with VIA now having employed Harald Welte of
gnuviolations.org fame to help them move forward in the open source
world. They have released their drivers and some manuals for their
GPUs now. So no 3D just yet, but then that's not exactly a regression

I was referring to flash capacity which will enable it to run the filesystem
uncompressed. On gen1 you have no swap, scarce RAM and a compressed
filesystem that the CPU must deal with when it needs to get something from
the flash, which is mostly all the time IMHO.

Hi!
I would like to ask these questions from OLPC staff:
Does this also mean that people who already own XOs will find that new
software is going to require a computer more powerful than they
currently have? I thought that that was something that was going to be
specifically avoided.

This sounds great, the description makes it sound as if the
plastic will be the same. Does this imply that a new mother
board will fit into the existing plastic?

The processor will be a VIA C7-M [1], with plans on using one whose
clock ranges from 400 MHz (1.5 W) to 1GHz (5 W). The clock may be
throttled back automatically if necessary to meet thermal constraints.
I'm hoping for a lot closer to 1GHz than 400MHz or it won't be much
different than the

Awesome news, now we don't need to worry about performance any more :p
