My sincere apologies for hitting Send before the download completed. I did get the GMA500 driver at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng&DwnldID=19158 and it does not seem to include a source license, although does seem to include a lot of source. I might well be confused here, but if there IS an open source driver release - which is normal practice for Intel - then I can understand picking the PowerVR for an open tablet design. Even if it's not so stable when under active 3D use. Reverse-engineered drivers inevitably add instability anyway. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
