Mark Davis gave a presentations on:
- Android Linux for X86. The Android-x86 project has successfully ported Android 4.0 to the X86 architecture. Mark Davis demoed their release candidate 1 iso running on an EEEPC as a live boot. Amazingly, almost all the hardware works and it is fast, too.
- Impromptu (with help) xrandr info. New options- like scaling.
