No x11 support yet. Still on the to-do list. As for kernel patches i haven't a clue. I'm just using Rubens 2.6.24.3 because the other 2.6.24.3-xxxx-dirty kernels i tried had issues. The framebuffer would randomly shift to the right over time and eventually my screen would become unreadable. I also experienced weird kernel crashes where i2c went nuts and froze the system when using mplayer or some console games. None of this happens with Rubens kernel. Though i did notice both kernels still have some framebuffer related issues. Neither can run certain SDL apps without the screen going black and freezing the system up. These same apps can run on anOS using the old 2.4 kernel and work just fine.
I've not had any problems with dhcp on open or wpa networks, and can confirm its working for others who use wep. echo 1 > /proc/jz/wifi-power ifconfig eth1 up iwlist eth1 scan iwconfig eth1 essid yourSSID key yourKEY (wait a few seconds) udhcpc -i eth1 That should get you connected for wep. For wpa use: wpa_passphrase yourSSID yourKEY > /etc/wpa.conf to create your wpa config file. Then just use wifi-config to turn on wifi and connect. The poweroff issue *might* be sd card related. I'm running anOS with 2.6.24.3 kernel installed to nand and poweroff works fine, and it does indeed get to the *mini pc message* and shuts off. I suppose i could try it from sd card and see if that might be the issue. I also noticed dmesg -n 3 isnt enough to stop udev from spamming the console. Edit /etc/rc.local and add: dmesg -n 1 This works for me now without annoying kernel/udev messages being spammed to my console. Cheers.
