Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] lcd4linux 0.10 release?

[Paul K. <pau...@xs...>]

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
