Good ! But maybe it would have been good to 'fork' a new CVS branch to
keep this just 'in case'

But Cwlinux is not tested ;)

for partitions, you should parse /proc/partitions
and I would add : perl embedding (I'm working on)

I found one of these (122x32) for 20euro in France, it appears to be
good hardware.
and maybe : Samsung KS0107/KS0108 (128x64 for 40euro)

About this : pure graphic displays don't know text, so it appears that
lcd4linux will emulate the text, so please keep it possible to add
multiple 'fonts' (not totally geek, think about the 'inverted text',
bold, ...)
Bye !
