Hi,
If you are using XFree86, I think you may need framebuffer driver. With
XOrg, it will have a native geodelx video driver. My question is, if
XOrg on Etch does not support geode lx, will adding framebuffer support
help?
Next 0.6 release will base on lenny, and will be available at around
summer time.

Yes, you're correct.
I'm investigating about the way to use such cheap and low power consumption
boards (alix pcengines and soekris) to build embedded devices with the ability
to drive display not charging the cpu with the heavy X11 infrastructure.
About X11: I see the Geode support was introduced in X11 starting from Debian
4.0 Lenny and Sid.
Etch hasn't such a driver yet.
Have you some roadmap timing to port Voyage from Etch to Lenny yet?
NOTE: I tested X11 without any specific video driver. Geode is driven only as a
plain VGA with really poor performances and supporting few resolutions/color
depth.

Hi
I am not convinced why a geode lx driver is needed. As far as I read from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Hardware_Drivers and kernel documentation, framebuffer is for provide graphical support on kernel console. Correct me if i am wrong. Any other strong reason than that?

I was looking for the lxfb module to have optimized support of the
Geode framebuffer.
I made an hand-check, then installed module-assistant too.
I see the lxfb module ins't available in the Voyage mainstream
distribution.
Someone with a solution?
