Can I simply alter the version number in the makefile? I'm not sure the legacy driver has the same "layout" (in terms of buildsystem) as the current driver, so I would not bet on it... However, if as I suggested above, you were to use qemu, you would not need to setup a bootloader. You can tell qemu to directly boot a kernel, see: board/qemu/x86/readme.txt As for the video driver, qemu does not (yet!) provide a 3D-accelerated graphics card, but you can use mesa3d for SW OpenGL if you need that. I guess using qemu will be more efficient than using a real PC, at least as long as you're not looking at performance, and especially graphics performance. Well, at least, that's what I would be doing. ;-) Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
