    People will decide what?

    No, they explicitely *included* the monitor wattages with both the notebook (with built-in monitor) and the C114 (with mandatory external monitor) figures. In what way did that benefit my position?

    > You persistently mischaracterized my comment about "a gfx

    No, I did not. Either you really meant "graphics co-processor" (as in "not gfx core") -- which wouldn't have made any sense due to your "128 megs" figure -- or you just confused AXE and PowerVR. You didn't want to answer my question as to which of these two possibilities were the case.

    Unverified? Estimate? EeePC? 10 watts?
    You're surely confusing me with someone else. Or confusing reality with your imagination.

    Again: May 2007 was when Genesi started selling the Efika Open Client incl. the XGI Volari V3XT/V3XE gfx card, which was the self-confessed reason for pega-1 to start development of the respective driver. Consequently, his driver development must have started somewhen between May 2007 and August 2008.
    The plans for the "[5200B based] device with the onboard [Volari] graphics that Granny referred to" were announced in April 2006 (already linked to) and eventually scrapped again no later than October 2006 due to the emerging 5121e with on-chip PowerVR gfx, which BBRV had known since long before its public announcement in May 2007.
    So according to your explanation pega-1 would have had to start driver development even before October 2006.

    > For all I know Genesi was involved after May 2007.

    Involved in or with what?

    > you haven't shown even that MorphOS devs had no involvement with
    > V3XT before May 2007!

    I have, for sure. Read again pega-1's statement I cited.

    > What the heck are you talking about?

    I'm talking about your perception of Genesi and MorphOS history being distorted and about how I perceive it taking the facts into consideration.

    > Why?

    Because I'm in love with the truth and hate untrue things being told, be it intentionally or not :-)

    > Why is this a big deal?

    I never claimed it was a big deal. Who defines what's big and what's not anyway?

    > In all of these you choose to argue about minutiae and not
    > substantive issues

    That's rather subjective. I hope you don't mind me thinking another way of my arguments.

    > to engage in an endless mind-numbing polemic about nothing that
    > goes nowhere.

    Your're utterly misinterpreting my intention.

    > I responded only because you're criticizing my comment.

    Yes, your original comment containing a statement about when and for what purpose MorphOS support for the Volari was begun. Fair enough. That's how discussions work.
