Hope this may help:

* Display Size: 7.0" 1024 X 600 (but I can only choose 800x600, driver
problems I guess)
* Screen Type: LED-Backlit LCD
* Touch Technology: Resistive (soft/finger) Single-touch
* Display Type: Soft (Finger) Touch

and...
* SO: Musix 3 beta 2 (based on Debian Squeeze)
* CPU type: Intel Atom (Silverthorne)
* CPU speed: Z520, 1.33Ghz

Don't know the manufacturer of the screen, but is the usual on Viliv's
devices, at least some years ago I suppose.

Thanks, Jeremy.
