Then I'll put a note in to that effect- can't believe I hadn't noticed that earlier. There are a couple of bugs in config.h, too (in the CONF_X depends on CONF_Y) sections, so I'll just check something in later. Nothing big, just irritating :) -Luis (...)

Hey, everyone (but I suppose Markus in particular, if he's still even out there anymore)- I've been playing with the LCD functions in the CVS legOS and, as far as I can tell, not a single one of the functions requires lcd_refresh() anyome.

Well, SDL is a very good programming language indeed.

Not to the best of my knowledge, but I'll take a look later this afternoon. If you need to create more memory, take a look at kernel/config.h, and start undefining features that you don't need. None of those will make a huge difference, but they are (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
