I've done enough FOSS work to know that a project like this feels like it is your baby and you don't want to hear that someone saying your baby is dead. I guess this is also a good moment to (re-)explain my interest in lcd4linux. I've reverse engineered and written a libgphoto2 based driver for st2205 based miniature digital photo frames (keychain photoframes). Naturally I encountered the picframe project which has a hack for these devices to use them as external lcd displays. I've given this a try together with lcd4linux. As a result of this I've also ended up packaging lcd4linux (and libst2205 and some other deps) for Fedora. Also see my initial mail to this list: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.lcd4linux.devel/396/ > the reason is simple and sad: I am still extremely busy with my real-life job, getting up every day at around 3 o'clock > in the morning, working at least for 12 hours, even on weekends. > Wow, those are heavy heavy workdays. > What we could really need is a Co-maintainer, at least for answering mails and integrating patches.

The patches which I've can be found here: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=lcd4linux.git;a=blob_plain;f=lcd4linux-hwmon.patch;hb=master http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=lcd4linux.git;a=blob_plain;f=lcd4linux-st2205-width-height-swap.patch;hb=master http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=lcd4linux.git;a=blob_plain;f=lcd4linux-wireless.patch;hb=master See my initial post for an explanation of them. Esp. the hwmon one. I think it would be good to document how to use the i2c_sensors plugin with multiple sensor devices, feel free to copy paste any or all text from my initial mail for that.
