[MinnowBoard] MinnowBoard MAX announcement

[Carroll Vance]

Does "With Open Source hardware-accelerated drivers for Linux OS" mean that
we will no longer be tied down to the closed source emgd driver? Didn't see
it in the FAQ, but that was my biggest gripe with the first board. It made
running another distribution more complicated then just running a specific
kernel version with blobs since you also had to use libraries linked
against a few specific versions of Xorg.
