Hi Joel,

Looks good. With old version of Xilinx ISE, you used to have to use Red 
Hat Enterprise Linux, although I think CentOS (Community Enterprise 
Edition) could be used too. It's good to see that you can get it working 
under Ubuntu now. I was tempted to order some of those VGA breakout 
boards but the postage to Australia might cost more than the boards. I 
haven't kept up with the latest CoCo3FPGA releases.

John.
