Post by **salahpayne** » Sun 29 Mar 2009 20:19

The Wii Linux Team has released a new version of the Linux kernel for Wii.

New features/fixes:

- Using the latest 2.6.29 kernel.
- AVE-RVL support (the Nintendo Wii's audio/video encoder)
- Improved video mode autodetection
- Video mode timings (fbset and the like will now work)
- The default video mode at boot uses a so-called overscan compensation (for those using TVs).
- Shortcut to reboot to the Homebrew Channel!
