R: [Voyage-linux] Alix1/3 VGA support (lxfb)

Gonçal, which resolution and screen depth are you able to achieve?

My first need will be to run mplayer  as you have done but reproducing a video stored in a compact flash.

Actually, I would also be interested in optimized support for the
framebuffer: we are running an ALIX.1 with voyage as an IP camera monitoring station (it's in a corridor, showing the output of a remote IP camera), running mplayer on the framebuffer. The performance is actually OK without hardware optimisation, but it might be better with it ;)

Cheers,

    Gonçal
