It's been running Linux since August last year

The version of Linux seen running on the prototype board in March 2002 was TurboLinux, an old distribution specially tweaked to run on the Teron boards. Not only is it no longer supported by TurboLinux, there are a number of features on the board that aren't even supported by the kernel. Like USB.

The version of Debian Ole-Egil shows running on his mobo, and the version of SuSE seen running on mine, are both modern kernels, supporting USB, recent graphics cards, etc. and are the result of work done by the A1 dev team. It is the first time mainstream desktop Linux distros have run on this type of board.

Or has the "A1 dev team" started kernel-hacking and rewriting existing drivers/modules?

No, we've been sitting on our bums staring at an empty screen.

Pfft. Ole-Egil's got the right idea: there's more fun to be had playing with the A1 than posting here.
