Oh, you mean selecting the framebuffer type in pbsdboot.exe? Yes, I
set that to Vadem Clio 1050. For one I found multiple platforms in
conf/VR41XX defned, but I did not know if I have to specify somehow
which one to choose. Second I would like support for the close/open
display-hinge switch to bind it to the suspend/resume mechanism if
possibe.
Other platforms seem to already have a lot of gpiu (?) pins
mapped/defined (don't know the correct wording).
Also I still do not know my way with the kbd-mapping, see 6): missing
Pageup=Fn-up

The linux port on mobilepro700 at sourceforge supposedly has this working.

ok, will try to build again later.

how do you define/set that for the text consoles?

Confusing. I can switch between ttyE0-3 via Ctl-Alt-1 to 4 all right.
