Hello AMD Geode LX Users

I am new to this list so I though a very quick and brief introduction
might not harm.

I am a member of the X.Org foundation and I am serving as the GSoC Admin
for X this year.  I am also an OpenBSD developer (mbalmer at openbsd.org).

I recently ported the xf86-video-geode driver over to OpenBSD and I plan
to somewhat actively participate in the development, with two main
focuses in my mind:

1) Make sure the driver works well on OpenBSD (and maybe other BSDs)
2) Try to make it as secure as possible

Especially 2) is important, the current implementation scares me and my
OpenBSD colleagues quite a bit ;)  (not strictly the driver, but how
MSRs are handled in Linux).

I live in Switzerland and my main "source" for Geode LX systems is PC Engines,
which are also in Switzerland.
