This project is a prototype of a handheld unit, very similar to a PDA in size. Therefore, any solution using DVI/HDMI needs to be compact. Concerning the "LCD Pro Pack" with the Verdex Pro XL6P, does this system come pre-configured to load an X-Window or other graphical system (Enlightenment?) as does the Overo?
