Hi Andrew, thank you very much. You are one the the three loyal fans of SPARC-fox, who have actually tried it out so far and who then reported that they find it useful. I'm glad to see and hear this, because at times I feel a bit alone on certain lists (e.g. indiana-discuss). > it works great.

Yes, I got this working after I received a hint from Pat Kane. But what do you mean by "not entirely correct after resume"? That the root-window looks damaged, and that you can only restore it by (un)-maximizing any window or switching WM-workspace? I wonder myself, why this still happens even now, although fbconsole has made it into the open-src tree now ( binary is installed in /usr/X11/bin/fbconsole ). Maybe it is not properly used because I made something wrong. p.s. Yes, your cmd649 controller, I must send it out. I don't come to anything here. My Blade 2000's and the U20 are compiling all day and night, currently the natamar-distro-generator. One build takes more than 24 hours, because the U20 doesn't have enough mem (512MB) and both Blade2000's run out of fast disk space, so I'm doing the build via USB2.0 external hdd. If you just copy a huge tar archive the the external USB2.0 disk, then the speed is quite good. But running a build on it is slower than I thought., maybe because of the high number of IO operations. I will rather move some unused src trees away from my fast FC-AL disks onto the USB disk, and run the next rebuild on the FC-AL disk again. So damn yes, I send you your cmd649 board. I am sorry for the delay. Cheers, Martin
