Rants & Ramblings

Also known as D.N.A.R.D. - DIGITAL Network Appliance Reference Design. Cute little StrongARM-based computer that's intended to run over the network but it's possible to add an internal disk ( on a horribly slow IDE interface that doesn't support DMA ). The machine looks more like a PayTV decoder than anything else with that infrated transceiver and SmartCard slot.
I got mine for the promise to make X work, so far I did:

• added some glue to make the igsfb driver work so we get a high resolution graphical console
• added some missing config bits to XFree86 so we can use the wsfb driver for now
• a native, accelerated driver existed in XFree86 3.x - I'm converting it into an XFree86 4.x module. Not there yet though
