It does not boot after about half hour. I think I know why:

I forgot that I had hacked the nokia770 build to use plain
xserver-kdrive instead of xserver-kdrive-omap. This is because it does
not build; the configure script fails because it is missing the
pkg-config file xextensions.pc. Searching the ML archives I see
pre-modular-X stuff has been removed from OE. Does updated, plain Kdrive
support the OMAP / Nokia 770 graphics or do I need to figure out how to
build (or file a bug against) the old Xomap server to run OE on my 770?
