[Lcd4linux-devel] News from lcd4linux-CVS

[Michael R. <re...@eu...>]

Hi LCD4Linux-Users and Developers,

I just made the big cut inside CVS: all old drivers and plugins (called 
"clients" in the old style) that have already been ported or are no 
longer necessary have been removed.

So the CVS code does contain only NextGeneration code, besides the 
things not ported by now, but they will be neither compiled nor linked.

Currently the NextGeneration is working with most of the plugins and a 
few drivers (MatrixOrbital, Crystalfontz, HD44780, Cwlinux).

Here's the ToDo-List:

Plugins that should be ported:
- battery (APM/ACPI)
- exec (external commands)
- imon (Nico?)
- isdn
- mail
- seti
- wifi (Xavier?)

Plugins that should be developed:
- partition information (used, free, ...)

Drivers that should be ported:
- Beckmann&Egle
- Milford Instruments
- Palm Pilot
- Raster (PPM, PNG)
- T6963
- USBLCD
- X11

Drivers that should be written:
- SED 15*

GPO's are not working at all, because the framework is still missing.

For the Graphic display drivers (T6963, raster, X11) the framework is 
missing, too. I will work this out as soon as possible.

Volunteers are welcome!


bye, Michael
