mmh... strange.

Excellent :)

Should already be included in 2.6.31. All you need to do is tell the kernel 
that the SystemAce is present and set its base address (0xa0000000).

Cool! Good luck with this one, the framebuffer API is a mess.

I'd rather use USB - PS/2 is becoming obsolete, and the custom Milkymist PCB 
will have USB (ISP1362 probably) and no PS/2.

X is slow, complex and heavy. I'd rather use DOpE [1] for the GUI, which is 
faster, simpler, lighter and a lot easier to port. That will be perfect for 
the VJ application. However, if you want to do something else, why not :)
