A good example and good question asking if hardware specifications are available for the graphics driver in the Lemote Yeeloong: lemote SMI VGA chip - is a datasheet available?
Note: The above mailing list post is a good example of politeness and at the same time asking a question that I've had a long time on my mind, although maybe because I'm not very good at diplomacy and/or politeness I could not ask it yet.
Interesting to know that. More women involved in computer science for a male/female balance in community:

Buying computer hardware that respects software freedom
I'm thinking of buying a computer which both supports a free BIOS and supports FLOSS 3D accelerated graphics. (careful that all software even in 3D graphics, including the microcode is documented and FLOSS)
