into CVS. Thanks a lot!

Great! I love to have new drivers!

displays, which works fine, and is fast enough. LCD4Linux does already
do lots of double-buffering, so speed should not be an issue....

You're very welcom to do so!

Do you have a SF account? I'd add you to the developers list, giving you
write access to the CVS.
