Hi Adam,
thank you for your quick reply.
Anyway, if you don't mind I would like to ask you two more questions then:

1) does this mean that I can't use Open Source Graphics Drivers for GMA3150?

2) if this is not true and Intel has not publicly released any 
programming documentation for GMA3150, who and how are this drivers 
written? By reading source code can we understand how GMA3150 works?

Thanks again
regards
Luke
