i'm not doing restarting work on it till the end of
may. Sridhar's also trying to do some reverse

more announcement - i've stopped work on the PixelView
driver, as i've lost access to the card. My friend
took it back to use it in his favorite machine running
doze.... couldn't help him out tho... :(
