l4lx: l4FB via con and dope

[Andrew Davenport]

Hi,

So, is con neccessary to catch printks from the linux kernel?  Also, I have no
clue to how to examine IRQ allocation in linux.  Another configuration issue i
notice is (in menu.lst):

module .../l4io --noirq

so we are not using irqs?

Thanks,
Andrew

 Well, that's the way output is made. Most of the output in Linux is done
 via printk which needs some working console. I should probably change
 the l4fb init code to l4-printfs.
 Anyway, can you login to your box and see if the IRQs are properly used
 (e.g. 1 for the keyboard)? Or hack it into some init-script or similar.
