Yup it looks like that.

I am restructuring the code to look for any graphics on the
core tile and only turn on the motherboard CLCD if there is
no CLCD or HDLCD on the core tile, e.g. if that device node has
been set to "disabled" or the HDLCD driver is not compiled in
but the CLCD driver is.

I found some vague mentions of a LCD display that can be
connected to the motherboard, so that would then be sitting
on the CLCD, is this something you ARM guys have seen
around? In that case I guess the VExpress (etc) would actually
be able to have two screens, one LCD panel on the motherboard
CLCD and a DVI from the core tile.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
