I've created a public new repository for the new kernel patches for mini2440
http://repo.or.cz/w/linux-2.6/mini2440.git
The board boots just fine, but I haven't tested all the peripherals in detail do far.
Feel free to ask for push permissions if you feel like helping.
I shall continue to update this topic with updates

I pushed a few more patches in the git tree. Added the working LCD (240x320, usb, sd etc). Oh also updated to 2.6.29-rc4.
I'm now trying to get my 1024x768 VGA board working, it's looking good

I've now merged the touchscreen support from openmoko's tree and added it to the mini2440 support. The driver has support for filtering policies to compensate for ADC errors.
Updated the git tree too.

Hi buserror!
Greate!!!!!
I'm new with all this, and I was trying to build 2.6.13 that came with CD with success but with some difficult too.
I wanted to add Bluetooth support but every time I try the insmod gives me some symbol errors.
I want to ask you if it's possible for you to build a mini how-to with prereq. and stuff for the 2.6.29?
Thanks in advanced!

Try 'depmod -a' then 'modprobe' instead of 'insmod' ...
As for tutorial, well, I'm a lot better at writing code than english; you could google for "kernel git howto" I'm sure you'll find a lot already written

Updated the kernel:
+ 2.6.29-rc6
+ Added support for the VGA adapter board , 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480
+ Added support for the 800x480 TFT LCD
+ Fixed the 320x240 timings for better contrast
+ Added support for the 'mini2440=' kernel command line parameter. This allows to use the same kernel for different board/screen size.

Sorry I'm a little new to all this. I attempted to build the kernel with "make mini2440_defconfig" but get:
***
*** Can't find default configuration "arch/x86/configs/mini2440_defconfig"!
***
What do I need type to make it search the correct dir. Thanks.
