This isn't in to the distro, so that's not a concern. We should keep
changes minimal and not adversely affect Ubuntu, but I don't think we
should avoid and Android stuff coming near Ubuntu as a rule.

Well, the change in question is

-        'omapfb.vram=0:24M mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000')
+        'omapfb.vram=0:24M,1:24M mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000')

is that going to affect Ubuntu too?

Thanks,

James
