Unless they've done some tweaking to the free source recently this isnt
really true. The Rev4 board (for some reason) has some "artifact" problems
(hence the Rev5 board) due to (amongst other things) the keyboard and mouse
i/o systems - we did notice some differences between the Funai and DEC PCB
layouts however that partially fix this.

The rev5 boards also have some video problems with X11. They shimmer window
boarders like crazy if the window has a white background (which affects say
Neil more than me since I like to do the NCOS builds in say ETerm for some
really strange reason)
