Allen,
It seems to work fine, though I've not stressed it. I'm using 16bit
on the LCD at the moment. Both the trackpad and USB mouse work fine.
Some minor quirks:
* Starting X with a USB keyboard connected means that the adb keyboard
can't be plugged in and used without restarting X, and vice versa.
This isn't a major problem, but it would be nice if it worked (I'm
using /dev/wskbd).
* After killing xdm, any keypress event from the USB keyboard results in:
wskbd_input: evar->q=NULL
being logged on the console, and the adb keyboard was unresponsive.
This continued until I unplugged and replugged the keyboard.
* When I booted with the lid closed (ie. using the external display as
the console), X fired up but didn't display anything. Opening the lid
didn't enable the LCD, so I had to reboot.
Connecting the external display while using the LCD as the console
works okay (external display is a mirror of LCD).
Is there a way to get both displays to work independantly?
Thanks, Allen!
