That's good news ... at least we know where the issue lies; now the problem comes: there are two candidate patches for this issue: Alan's driver update patch and Tomo's accessors patch. Unfortunately, due to merge conflicts the two are pretty hopelessly intertwined. I think I already spotted one bug in the accessor conversion, so I'll look at that again. Alan's also going to acquire an inito board and retest his conversions. I'm afraid it might be a while before we have anything for you to test.
