Michael will have to update the website soon :-). Harald Koerfgen has
written support for the keyboard on a /240 and ported the PMAG-BA
framebuffer driver we had written for 2.2.x to the 2.3 kernels. This is
currently still an unofficial patch and does not yet work 100% (in
particular, starting X crashes the machine :-( and I am working on fixing
a few small oddities and getting the PMAGB-B driver to work for 2.3), but
we are in good hope to show at least a fully working text console on
LinuxTag in Stuttgart. What kind of video card do you have in your /240
(PMAG-B, PMAGB-B)?
Greetings,
Karsten
