Thanks, that is a *great* idea. 

The thing is, the chip on the L440GX is a cirrus, and cirrus has always
been pretty good about open specs on their chips. If it were one of the
other companies I would think about giving up :-) I think we can get this.
We'll be talking to the xfree guys. 

Also, in a pinch I can survive in the cluster with serial console until we
get this.
