    I've said this in the last posting of the story, but it was at the bottom so I don't know how many people saw it:
    We should have IBM, Micron, or who ever else uses these chips in their laptops to ask Trident to release the documentation that is needed to develop a driver for FreeX.
    It's harder to ignore IBM than it is a single developer.
