Yes! :)
And I've preferred the EvStack kernel since it had removable GGI
drivers.... :)
[and did graphical consoles - in imho a lot cleaner way than fbcons but
that's life *sigh*]
(last time I tried to port the S3 ViRGE driver over though the
driver-structure was going through a rebuild to make it more logical and
useful... oh and work properly too :)
G'day, eh? :)
