Resurrecting this thread because Forma, yay!

(Kernel isn't out yet, but at least the FW is flagged Mk7, the CPU is identical, so, the basics should work. That leaves orientation handling as my main concern... I'm hoping really really hard it's done properly and I won't have to jump through a billion hoops to make it behave... The cherry on top would be an accurate (and, ideally, cheap) way to tell which orientation is currently used...).

Provided they haven't scrapped the legacy interface, the current release *should* at least display stuff *somewhere* fine, but I attached a current build to the first post which properly detects the Forma, making sure it uses the Mk7 codepath.
