with regard to the i2c code? I've been staring at it since your last
note, but I couldn't find any obvious problems. I do have to say that
Harald's rework is far cleaner than what came before...

Well the main question is probably:
How does it change the behaviour towards the hardware?
I tend to think that OLPC might not be the only ones who did something weird with it....and we already know that we shouldn't trust the documentation too much.

I was able to narrow this issue down to the fourth bus. So with
if (i == 4)
continue;
in the bus creation loop I'm able to get a working framebuffer which does not have the issues mentioned. Any ideas what should be done now?


Thanks,
