As far as I know there are several patches that have not yet made it to mainstream kernel, maybe some did make it as there was talk way back in 2.6.38 that some patches were scheduled to go mainstream in 3.1. The odd thing is that 3.1 is marked End Of Life ... I've no idea if anything made ir trough to 3.4. In the guide I wrote for putting armedslack on AC100 I used the ubuntu AC100 tuned kernel to save me all the patch work on vanilla kernel ... last time I looked into patching the mainsteam kernel release i wanted with the required patches for Zaurus I nearly became insane. I'm not sire that I want to to that again. I had a look at the tegra2 SOC specs and it's supposed to gave integrated grafix card: "The second generation Tegra SoC has a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 CPU (lacking ARMs advanced SIMD extension, marketed as NEON), an ultra low power (ULP) GeForce GPU with 4 pixel shaders + 4 vertex shaders,[13] a 32-bit single-channel memory controller with either LPDDR2 at 600 MHz or DDR2 at 667 MHz, a 32KB/32KB L1 cache per core and a shared 1MB L2 cache.[14] There is also a version of the SoC supporting 3D displays; this SoC uses a higher clocked CPU and GPU." So maybe the only mandatory things neaded for booting are keyboard and internal flash drive (can do temporarely without sound, webcam, and wifi if tey're not working from mainstream). But I'm pretty much sure that since ubuntu is currently using 3.1.10-1.2 patches are for the 3.1 kernel series and they will all need mending to be applied to 3.4 (and possibly stinn not work anyway). Anyone else out there using armedslack tegra based devices ?
