        Welcome; great to have you around :-)

        So - that sounds fine; last I checked we don't turn on any of the SSE3
optimisations during compile time, so (in contrast to the Intel builds)
- you should be fine.

        That opens the question as to whether we should in fact turn them
on ;-) quite possibly we should - particularly for glibc's memory copy /
movement logic I guess.

        If you can, you might want to try adding the Moblin:Factory repo, and
doing a zypper dup - that should give you the latest Xorg that we use
[ and latest kernel too with luck ].

        Thus far, no - Andrew was working on one I believe - it's mostly a
matter of twiddling the kiwi file in a sensible way, and then waiting
for the re-build.

        If you wanted to look at that, it'd be most welcome - in the
Moblin:Images/Image-opensuse repo there is the kiwi file - that needs
tweaking [ are you on #opensuse-moblin on freenode ? ].

        HTH,

                Michael.
