[oe] Various Bug - Questions

[NBeing]

Hello all.  I've been working with OE for a week or two now and run into some 
questions / possible bugs.

1. Bug: gpe-mini-brower doesn't compile on Ubuntu with default g++ (4.3.3). 
Digest Log:

---Solutions I Have Found---
a. Solution 1: In the file "protected_values.cpp" (/oe/build/tmp/work/armv5te-
angstrom-linux-gnueabi/osb-jscore-0.5.2+svnr117-
r1/JavaScriptCore/kjs/protected_values.cpp).  You can remove static from the 
following two lines and it compiles file.  It opens on the board but I haven't 
been able to test with internet.

~Line 189 (protected_values.cpp): template <> static inline unsigned 
hash<4>(ValueImp *pointer) 
~Line 117 (protect_values.cpp): template <> static inline unsigned 
hash<8>(ValueImp *pointer)

b. Solution 2: Using the GCC 4.2.x compiler instead of 4.3.

Is this the right group for the gpe-mini-browser problem?  Also is it 
recommended to use the gcc 4.2.x compiler for OE, or should I try to stick with 
gcc 4.3.x if I can?

2. Bug: gpe-filemanger has a weird bug.  Opening up, moving back 1 directory, 
then double clicking the home directory results in:  "Error: Invalid URI".  If 
you are in "View Icons" mode then you are able to reenter the home directory.  
This is the only directory I've run into with this problem.  The "Home" button 
works fine in all cases.  The the program usually closes after the error box.  
Address bar after the error seems to have random data (which is the invalid 
URI): IE
1. *box symbole**x symbol**box symbole
2. audio/3gpp2
etc



3. Question: U-Boot isn't in the deploy directory after I do a "bitbake my-x11-
image".  However it is there after I do a "bitbake x11-image".  Would someone be 
able to look at my-x11-image.bb and see the problem?

my-x11-image.bb:  http://www.mediafire.com/?dziuw2hojgn

If I bake u-boot after I run a "bitbake my-x11-image" then it works fine.  
"bitbake my-x11-image" returns no errors/fails, and it does produce a u-boot 
folder in the work directory, it just doesn't seem to deploy.  Here is the 
complete log:

Would be more convenient if I can have my "my-x11-image.bb" act like the "x11-
image" in this regard.


4. Question: My last question is I've been trying to get internet on my board 
via usb.  I've read the AngstromManual and confirmed that the "Network Setup" is 
writing the information in the /etc/networking/interfaces file, however, I don't 
believe my board has the g_ether module by default; it isn't in the "modules-
2.6.28-r9-at91sam9261ek.tgz" file, and the board says "g_ether module not found" 
when I try to modprobe it.

I've gotten the USB ethernet working with Buildroot in the past by editing the 
kernel "make linux26-menuconfig" but unsure if there is a way for me to add the 
Kernel module via my "my-x11-image.bb" with OE?

I'm sure either of the two would work:
a. Create my own DefConfig for the kernel, find the DefConfig in 
/oe/openembedded/*, and replace it with my DefConfig.
b. bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig & bitbake my-x11-image

Is there a way to accomplish this task with just "my-x11-image.bb"?  Or a 
recommomended way of adding things like g_ether?  Angstrom already has the 
interface for usb0 in the Network Setup, is it already suppose to be there by 
default?

Thanks for any help :)  Sorry if some of these are very simple - I am very new 
to OE and just finished reading the manuals I could find.

If any additional information is needed I can attempt to provide.  I'm using the 
development branch, and my local.conf is the "local.conf.sample" with my machine 
set basically.
