Re: [Gnewsense-dev] Installation on a Lemote Yeeloong

[Sam Geeraerts]

Thanks for the feedback. I still need to patch
xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion. Iceweasel bugginess is because of a
patch I did for mipsel, but the exact cause is still a mystery. I could
go for a working x86 build and no Iceweasel on mipsel, but I'd hate to
do that because it's the only stable browser there.
