Ok, I can do that easy on the r-pi I think. In for the night, we've snow in the air here, finally. Yup, worked perfectly on the raspian. The c2's video has quit again, monitor does not like it. I have given up on a canned video mode as there is no 1920x1080 mode listed in boot.ini, only 1920x1200, and thats dead. So I've hacked up a modeline but not tested it yet.
