DISCLAIMER
----------
Everything in this directory is provided AS IS without any WARRANTY or
LIABILITIY of any kind implicitly or explicitly whatsoever.
In other words: IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG, IT'S YOUR FAULT, NOT MINE!

NOTES
-----
This directory contains several compiled kernel images and modules
for Sharp ROM based distributions (e.g. Cacko) and pdaXrom beta 3/pdaXii13.
These are identified by their respective prefixes "sharprom" or "pdaxrom".

FILES IN THIS DIRECTORY
-----------------------
*-kernel-*           -> Subdir that contains the kernel image "zImage"
			and the kernel config used to build it.
                        See below for further explanation of the suffix.
*-modules.tar.gz     -> Universal modules for all kernel variants
                        Not necessarily required for Cacko 1.23.
updater.sh           -> Update script for this device. 
                        Copy this onto a SD or CF card along with the
			chosen zImage. Read below how to flash the kernel.

VARIANTS
--------		
Here is a brief description of the suffixes in the kernel-* subdirectory
names:

fastfpe:
  FastFPE floating point emulation
  This is the new reliable FastFPE code, not the old inaccurate code.
  It's 5-6 times faster than the NWFPE floating point emulation.
  It offers high/double precision but doesn't support FP exceptions.
  This is safe to use, if you're not doing heavy-duty scientific
  calculations on your Zaurus that require extreme precision.
  Either use your desktop pc for that or use the following FPE:
 
nwfpe:
  Netwinder floating point emulation
  This is the default floating point emulation that uses the softfloat
  library for FP calculations. Slow and high precision.

cachedfb:
  Cached frame buffer and consistent allocation
  This is a default setting in the stock kernel and provides basic level
  on-screen graphics acceleration, e.g. when scrolling.
  However, for some reason this setting is incompatible with applications
  that need direct access to the frame buffer /dev/fb0,
  e.g. the Framebuffer VNC server (fbvncserver). Running such applications
  might cause general instability in your system. Symptoms: Application
  won't start or quit unexpectedly.
  NOTE: pdaXrom always uses this as the X11 server will crash without it.

uncachedfb:
  Uncached frame buffer
  Use this if you plan to use fbvncserver on your device. 
  fbvncserver and other applications that access /dev/fb0 directly
  will work in this mode since the graphics acceleration mentioned above
  is disabled.
