[K12OSN] k12ltsp 5beta2 details

[Roy]

I haven't been able to use my i810 since K12-FC5 so I the vesa thing and the
gui comes up but I have a frequency issue. I'm guessing I will have to set
that manually too. Do you know what could have happened? My i810 always
worked before.

Thanks, I have checking that on my todo list (which I'm working on right
now ;-)

Possible related to #1. I have not seen a problem with the default
192.168.0.254.

Good to hear.

I scrounged up a box with an i810, I saw the same problem. Untested, but
the vesa driver will probably be a quick work-around:

	XSERVER = vesa
