You don't disable the cape manager, you just tell it not to automatically load the HDMI interface. Note that you have to disable *TWO* virtual capes, the normal HDMI with audio, and the HDMIN without audio. This will leave the HDMI/LCD pins available for your cape, which will be automatically supported assuming you have your eeprom contents and kernel device tree files all sorted out. -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
