It's a 751h model with an Atom Z520 CPU. I tested an F12 live-cd and that 
works but the F13 one doesn't. Unfortunately the graphics chip doesn't seem 
to be supported which makes the desktop extremely slow. I found that the 
driver was apparently once available in RPMFusion but it was never released 
for F12+. Trying to rebuild the psb-kmod just gave me a message that it 
doesn't like the i386 architecture.
