The only objective information is posted here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/20/342
Everything else related to this problem is subjective.

Must have hit "reply" rather than "reply all" at some
critical point along the way.

Browse this directory:
http://hp-umpc.com/ce1200v/
Your looking for the:
http://hp-umpc.com/ce1200v/sylvania-g-data.tar.gz
The Everex Cloudbook only varies by some strings in the 
dmidecode output.

For logs of speculation and efforts at re-arranging the
deck chairs on the Titanic:
http://forum.netbookuser.com/viewforum.php?id=8

I chose to start with the ce1200v because:
*) It needs the most help;
*) One of the two tech manuals on the cx700 has been
published since the drivers where touched.
see: http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action
select cx700/vx700 in right-hand box, click the manual.
*) The HP-2133 MiniNote uses the cn896 chipset, which
has not yet been released from NDA.

Note:
I do not have the C7-M technical reference, it is still
under NDA.
*But* if a developer on this list has a copy of the
manual *and* owns one of these three brands of machine -
they would have fixed their own machine a year ago.
So I am not holding my breath until a person is located
that has both the manual and the machine.  ;)
