No, I really think it got filtered and I forgot to send it again.

Yeah, I was surprised as well ;-)

I think I'll have to setup a cross compiler for that first, or it
will take forever. Do you like to have two separate configs for
serial and framebuffer?
>Can you do 4K too?
I am not quite sure if I still have a working DECstation with a 4K
CPU lying around, will try to check next weekend (and I'll have to
do my tax refund sheets as well over the next few weeks - ouch, there
goes my spare time....),
CU,
