        Nice to know, and sorry - these device-dependent issues are
tough things, and not having device it's easy to err, what I did. But
what I'm trying to say is that many Angstrom developers don't have
access to specific hardware, and it's hard to get it right, so people
who own and use some device are often in better position to
investigate/resolve issues. And there's nothing magic to it, and
always a way to start (even if initial step is wrong ;-) ).

        Of course, I don't mean personally you, or haste you to do
something - it's just that support of Angstrom on specific device
depends in large part on users of that device, and  looking past
"Angstrom doesn't work well on device XXX" towards specific issues and
areas they belong to is a good way to improve that support, and
hopefully in sustainable manner, such that bugs fixed in right place
don't reappear in another.

        And I have to say that your attention to these issues is much
appreciated!
