I've just been to the pub with David Woodhouse and he says the Flash RAM bug
I've fallen foul of is a known one that he's fixed - we should probably get
a more recent kernel image to fix that. Also, there are some alignment
"fix" bugs in the current 2.4.3 build Familiar uses, according to him.
The Flash bug only shows up for me after a few sleep/resume cycles. David
says it was a problem with the jffs2 code not knowing that the machine had
been slept.

The effect I'm seeing is that I press the sleep button and it sleeps, then
when I press it again, the display briefly powers up, then goes off and
stays off. No input action will bring it back. This is with or without
screen saver enabled. The display stays on for about one second, then goes
off.

The latter bug looks to me like some sort of Xserver confusion, or a problem
with the touchscreen driver.

Cheers,
