They both will, but afaik .32 needs to be compiled for it specifically; .33 might do it in a nicer way (since support got upstream instead of being a seperate branch hack.) Should be obvious from the "make menuconfig" menus. Lars - Please update with what you get done with this; I'll be hacking on it a bunch myself when my Lemote order gets to me in a few weeks. Note that there is a blob in PMON to do some VGA initialization; we're trying to get that removed - it's unclear at this point if that will stop VGA from working altogether or only stop PMON stuff from displaying on the screen; but Fuloong has a serial port, so should be useful as a server even without any VGA output. -- Daniel JB Clark | http://pobox.com/~dclark _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
