Hi Arne,

	I applied the kernel patch, and yes the mono fb works now!
It seems to be sucking up a lot of CPU though (although this may
not be having too much impact on the load):

dene# uptime
10:17AM  up 18:08, 1 user, load averages: 0.:0, 0.:0, 0.:0

dene# ps -aux
USER       PID %CPU %MEM   VSZ  RSS TT  STAT STARTED       TIME COMMAND
root       387 96.2  0.0  1280    0 ??  R     4:54PM  1034:35.47 (X_mono)
...

(X_mono is a renamed Xmfbpmax)

Console login window is very similar to X under Linux (not surprizing:-)

Thanks,
