 	* graphics/nxconsole:  Add a character driver that can be used as a console output
 	  device for text output (still under development on initial check-in).
+	* graphics/nxmu:  Fix several compilation errors that have crept into the multi-

+NxConsole
+=========
+
+  Several of the graphic-releted configurations are set to use the
+  examples/nxconsole test.  To enable this configuration,
+  First, select NX Multi-User mode:
+
+    CONFG_NX_MULTIUSER=y
+    CONFIG_DISABLE_MQUEUE=n
+ 
+  Then add the following definition to the defconfig file to enable
+  the NxConsole driver:
+
+    CONFIG_NXCONSOLE=y
+
+  Make sure the that following is in place the appconfig file (perhaps
+  eliminating other examples):
