I've been using the versions that are publicly available with the Maemo 5 
Beta SDK, so older than what we have currently internally. The kernel is the 
same one we have, but only configured for BeagleBoard plus a small patch 
applied, that restores the support for the beagle generic-panel, which was 
removed between the alpha and beta kernels.
