I guess you should have helped out with the months of tracking patches
that got us to this point.  As you'll recall previously nobody took care
of constant tracking leaving us stuck to magic working releases like
2.6.22.5 and only able to jump the gap to a new version with great
effort.  What luxury to be able to complain about sweet spots :-)

There's no instant rush, let's complete the remaining issues first.
Nelson says he will study the bitbang to accels issue.

It's still funny, the DCLK patches make my soft cursor freeze only and
keep the content.  The glamo does not know about "character cells"
either.  But the signature of it will be that the power button does
something.
