Does "With Open Source hardware-accelerated drivers for Linux OS" mean that we will no longer be tied down to the closed source emgd driver? Didn't see it in the FAQ, but that was my biggest gripe with the first board. It made running another distribution more complicated then just running a specific kernel version with blobs since you also had to use libraries linked against a few specific versions of Xorg.
indeed you are correct! the GPU support is in the mainline kernel and completely open:

We're unveiling this board at the EE Live! conference this week in San Jose, CA. MinnowBoard MAX is another open hardware embedded board we've developed to serve the needs of both the professional developer and hacker/maker community. Based on Intel's new Atom Bay Trail SoC platform, it offers a new generation of performance and features, but remains petite in size and cost. Our entry-level SKU will be $99 MSRP, with additional board configuration options to be made available. All models will include 64-bit processors, USB 3.0, and Intel HD graphics with open source accelerated drivers for Linux, to just name a few of the new features!
