[maemo-developers] Maemo 5 and hw accelerated X.Org?

[From: Alex T. W. LEUNG]

Hi Frank and maemo team,

Do you mean if I have a beagleboard, I can use it to test drive maemo5
readily?

If the answer is yes, I will try to convince my company to get one.

Alex Leung.

The BeagleBoard (http://beagleboard.org/) seems to be the most
