Yes, that's what I thought, too. And the latest software release still runs on fbdev. But xvinfo will report that xv acceleration is in fact available despite the Xorg log saying it's running on fbdev. Perhaps someone clan clarify? Can you provide a link for where the imx xorg drivers can be acquired? I would have expected them to ship with the laptop if they were stable enough. > Ive been meaning to blog about the filesystem. > > http://ausil.us/smartbook/boot.tar.bz2 is contents for a ext3 /boot > http://ausil.us/smartbook/smartbook-rootfs-f13.tar.bz2 is the contents for a > ext4 / > > its configured to boot from a sdcard. you can install it to the internal > storage pretty easily. you will need to update the boot.scr file. and fstab to > point to internal storage. it enables the default /dev/sda3 swap on the > smartbook. Indeed, I'm aware of all that. The main downside of putting Fedora on it is that a number of pretty important things are still missing (Adobe Flash, Google Chrome, Open/Libre Office - at least the latter two are available for ARM Ubuntu). > the kernel is built from genesi's tree on gitorious.org > git://gitorious.org/efikamx/linux-kernel.git Interesting. Is there a list of specific patches that are required to be applied to the vanilla kernel to make it work on the Efika?
