2.6.29 and 2.6.30 both have the screen working, but usb is messed up.
It works, to a certain extent, but attempting to use anything more
than lsusb has resulted in a near lockup. As well as 50% CPU going to
software interrupts. I believe this is due to the way the ohci driver
works with memory, requiring dma_free_coherent, which now as of (a
particular version I forget) requires interrupts to be enabled on
dma_*_coherent, for smp support. Whereas
http://oz.drigon.com/patches/tmio-ohci-r1.patch suggests that it's not
usable for the ohci-tmio driver used. So far trying to track patches
to the lkml, I've found no indications that this was mentioned in
discussions, before being changed over to use the dma_*_coherent
fucntions, and I know it's using that at least on 2.6.29, see:
http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5403   I improperly
assumed it was prism2 causing the warnings.

I should be able to put it up somewhere, I'll post a link after I've done that.
