2.6.31 kernel

You can find the latest kernel for the Efika MX on Power Developer Platform Support. Documentation, an updated firmware, and extra drivers coming soon ;)

This kernel update should fix some of the display problems people have been having with DVI adapters and some Dell and Samsung monitors. There are a few known issues with power off and reboot (you will have to pull the power cord and reinsert it), and audio not working under Ubuntu when using GUI media player apps (such as Totem or Exaile) and we are looking into these.

The next kernel update will be shipped as a binary and a patch against this kernel version, to reduce bandwidth and hassle for developers. Hopefully we will be able to fix native panel display resolution support, enable 32-bit display modes and provide an accelerated 2D graphics driver in addition to the above fixes.

As always, in the spirit of open source development, we would appreciate any patches that fix problems you experience whenever possible.

Have fun!
