So, has anyone tried to compile the latest kernel for our Z's?

Xv 'just works', pxa270 overlay needs patching apps, since it needs a tedious and nonstandard way to setup the framebuffers, and the last time I checked angstrom was the *only* distro that has packages that can use pxa270 overlay with kernel 2.6.

Sorry, should have mentioned that it had been missing for Akita as far as I remember. In fact since 2.6.23 mplayer from the iwmmxt feed plays movies much smoother- I could not refrain from trying that out  Oliver |

You can't disable iwmmxt in the kernel, since it gets automatically selected when using the pxa270 cpu. |
