Re: [Lcd-linux] state kernel upstreaming efforts

[Mattia Jona-L. <mat...@gm...>]

Hi and thanks for your interest in LCD-Linux. Unfortunately the project is
not scheduled for inclusion in the Linux kernel mainstream. As you have
read there was some discussion around 2 years ago but even those ideas
about rewriting the virtual console management in the kernel, never saw the
light. There is probably not enough interest to modify the virtual terminal
subsystem, that is vital for many other things in the kernel.
The LCD-Linux project was definitely not rejected but it is unlikely that
it will be included in the kernel in the near future. The LCD-Linux
repository in now more than one year old since no bugs have emerged and all
the HD44780 features are implemented. So there is nothing more to develop,
only new ideas to implement or new drivers to write.

Regards,

Mattia Jona
