Re: [Lcd4linux-devel] Driver for dpf-ax

[<sup...@wo...>]

Hi Hans,

thanks for the info.
Even if lcd4linux is currently not actively maintained I know that many users of dpf-ax (including me) are using it.
I'm just interested to make it easier for everyone to get this up and running.
So maybe fixing the driver and posting a patch will do. If the patch finds its way into the svn - okay. If not,  checking out the current svn and applying the patch is also doable.
