Not sure what you're asking.  There's nothing extra to be done on the
tuxrx side to get FP image loaded.  In fact that will happen now unless
you have it commented out like we all do because the FP code is mucking
about in shared memory in a way that bothers Linux and makes it crash.
As you know.

So what's the question again?
