A programmer from Bulgaria Hungary managed to write a tweaked GAPI driver (free + open-source) called X50v GAPI QVGA to accelerate GAPI video performance for games and emulators that don't officially support the new graphic chip of the Dell Axim X50v.

Users report that with this driver a game for instance like Warfare Inc. that was before "choppy at times and slow" now plays "smooth and fast."

There are still a few bugs to be ridden off (e.g. graphics sometimes fade in and out), but considering how fast this independent project is evolving, I have no doubt that the driver reaches "stable" in no time.
