Please do *not* do stick with "arm-linux-gnueabi" if you're doing

with it, please share them and you'll probably get help.

Steve, does this mean that if we would use the videodrivers taken from the
Efika MX ARMHF image on page
http://www.powerdeveloper.org/platforms/efikamx/linux ?
That this wouldn't work because of arm-linux-gnueabi in stead of
arm-linux-gnueabihf?

Potentially, yes. Konstantinos is the guy at Genesi working on those,
so I'll let him respond - he'll know for sure. Added to CC
above... :-)

Cheers,
