Is there specs and source for the video engine in the MX53? Playing with it last night it is rather impressive at video decoding and even some OpenGL ES as far as I can tell. I didn't check if the drivers have source or even specs though. Playing a video clip at 1920x1080 on HDMI at 60 frames per second was using just under 50% of the CPU, which for a 1GHz single core is rather impressive to me. An atom isn't going to do that unless you have an ion chipset helping it. The rest of the MX53 looks pretty well documented and appears to work. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
