Michael, In January you released the 0.10 RC1 of lcd4linux. Can you give some information on what remains to be done prior to 0.10 release? Cheers, Paul |

Hi Paul, > In January you released the 0.10 RC1 of lcd4linux. Can you give some > information on what remains to be done prior to 0.10 release? Well, the docs in the wiki are finished, at least most of'em. So - there is no real reason *not* to release 0.10. There are a lot of things planned - more displays, vents, scrolling, keypad support, but these could be implemented after 0.10 Any comments? Otherwise we should release 0.10! bye, Michael -- Michael Reinelt <re...@eu...> http://home.pages.at/reinelt GPG-Key 0xDF13BA50 ICQ #288386781 |

Only one personal interest, the i2c support. :-) Did you get it compiling correctly? I only had one correction for Luis, not sure if he reported it to you already. And I suggested a modification to configure.in to correctly enable/disable i2c support. Besides that, looking at the ticket list, most show stopper issues with RC1 are solved. Your latest plugin changes, worked smoothly for me. No more confusing plugin messages for me. I think you are ready for a release.

Or could someone provide a patch? You are right, i2c *is* important for 0.10. Either it should compile cleanly on *any* client (even without kernel-headers, kernel-source and so on), or we shouuld deactivate it somehow. > Besides that, looking at the ticket list, most show stopper issues with > RC1 are solved.

Any feedback from other developers and/or users would be appreciated! bye, Michael -- Michael Reinelt <re...@eu...> http://home.pages.at/reinelt GPG-Key 0xDF13BA50 ICQ #288386781 |

One more thing pops up in my mind. On what kernel versions lcd4linux supposed to run? kernel 2.4 and 2.6, kernel revisions etc? I am sure that eg. the i2c support only works for the later revision of the 2.6 kernel. |

I can test 2.6 (2.6.11, to be precise) only. I don't have any other running kernel avaliable here. So if someone could do some testing with 2.4, this would be great! bye, Michael -- Michael Reinelt <re...@eu...> http://home.pages.at/reinelt GPG-Key 0xDF13BA50 ICQ #288386781 |

Are you talking about i2c_sensors or the i2c display ? About i2c_sensors, I wrote that plugin to be compatible with 2.4 (procfs) and 2.6 (sysfs). As far as I know, there's no kernel version needed for any plugin (at least higher than 2.4). I don't really know the situation for drivers, but even for hd44780, ppdev (>=2.4) can be avoided. So I don't think I'm wrong to think that L4L should even run on a 2.2 kernel ! Bye ! PS : As you can see, I'm not dead, just very busy. |

Hi Xavier and the others, Sorry I wasn't more clear. I was talking about the i2c based display support. That is only support on kernel 2.6, i2c access is completely changed from kernel 2.4 to kernel 2.6. But i2c display support should automatically be disabled when the i2c kernel includes are not properly detected. So I am quite sure that it wouldn't prevent building L4L on kernel 2.4 (or even 2.2) There is just no i2c display support in that case. cheers, Paul > Hello Paul and the whole team. > >> One more thing pops up in my mind.
