      most known display sightings (e.g., flickering). 

      Please refer to the white paper (pending post) titled:
      "Displays Characterization on Intel Atom(TM) Processor E6xx Series (B1-Stepping)"
      for more details available at: 
      http://edc.intel.com/Software/Downloads/EMGD/ website.

    - Libva version 1.0.12 is supported to enable video acceleration capabilities:

    - EPOG is supported on US15 (on BLDK) only.

    - The driver supports internal LVDS, SDVO, DDC, EDID (detection), 2D, 
      D3D (DirectX* 9.0C), OpenGL 2.0 (XP), OpenGL 2.1 (Linux), OpenVG 1.1 (Linux),
      OpenGL-ES 1.1 and 2.0, hardware video decode and Overlay frame buffer alpha 
      blending capabilities.
    
    - The driver is pre-configured to turn on SDVO as PRIMARY and Internal LVDS as 
      SECONDARY Display.
      Internal LVDS default resolution as 1366 x 768 for E6xx and 10x7 for US15. 

    - The driver supports Power Management (Standby and Hibernate) on SDVO and LVDS
