Good, that's one thing less to worry about.
Could you send me that patch?

Could you send me these images? I'd like to get this card up and running
for testing as soon as possible. Updating the images can be done later,
which should be a lot faster when i know how to do it :)

Hmm... I don't know yet whether i want to boot from OGD1.
It would be cool if i could. If not i can always stick in

Well, at least it works [tm] :-)
What i want to do is a technical demo for FOSDEM.
FOSDEM is quite informal and there are none of the
trade shows one usualy has at Linux Exhibitions/Conferences,
at it is only targeted at developers.
