Is there a way to find out which firmware revision I am running?

Thank you!

You can see the firmware version of the Firebird and the V4-Standalone when you hold both mouse buttons and enter Early boot Menu.

Perhaps my firmware is too old? When I hold both mouse buttons it just boots normally. I use a "normal" dell usb mouse and a hdmi->dvi adapter and a cheap 19" dell monitor now; do I need a vampire mouse to do that?

Holding both mouse buttons after the reset should work with every mouse - but you need be very quick the moment when both mouse are checked is very short after the reset.

I found why it didn't work, my OS image was the original one, once I updated it, it worked I saw the firmware version when pressing both mouse buttons.
