Hi Ani,
I am now ready to start on getting the flat panel working.
I have Ben's latest rsync from today. I have also upgraded to XF 4.1.0
rpms.
Unfortunately, the XF 4.1 rpms really mess up OpenOffice and font
aliasing. If I install truetype fonts at all the whole thing barfs. This
all works with no problems under XF 4.0.2.
Are there any know problems with XF 4.1.0 when it comes to the render lib
(libfreetype) and ppc?

I will rebuild XF 4.1 from source and make sure that works first and then
apply your patch and rebuild.

Thanks,
