 ok.  right.  this is the one that's in the nortec (something like
that) gecko edubook.  i also have a sample of a 9in laptop with it in
(the one using the same casework as the GPL-violating CT-PC89e that
kicked off this whole project).  it runs ubuntu - i don't like ubuntu
so i don't know and don't care which version - but it's
fully-functional and actually really good.  i ran videos through a
25-to-12fps ffmpeg reducer that also dropped them down to 640x320 and
they play perfectly well... in the middle of the screen :)
