My turn - I had to go to Japan for a week and I've only just caught up with 
e-mails ;-)

That should be ok for this project. Thanks for the confirmation.

I'll have a look, but this is well outside my comfort-zone :-) James Abernathy 
reported similar:

"It may not solve the 3.0 problem for CDV and Yocto, but I noticed that Ubuntu 
12.04.1 with the 3.2 kernel supports the PVR driver on it's 3.2.0 kernel.  I've 
only tested it successfully on an All-In-One with LVDS off of an eDP to LVDS 
converter used on the DN2800MT motherboard."
