Sorry about that, your quite correct, no X/WVGA. There are other boards that cost about $200 that have VGA. There may be a few between the $100 - $200 range with X/WVGA. That $500 kit doesn't sound too bad but right now it's not high on my list. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies | ||||||||||||||||||||||

You know, seeing my response now, it looks rude. That was not intended, and I apologize if it sounded that way. -- Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota * USA | ||||||||||||||||||||||

It was also something I thought about after I posted the information.
