Well, thanks, some poor misguided people used to call this "sick".... ;)

Seriously, I was just kidding! :) (Please excuse my stinginess when it comes to smilies-usage.)

Well, it's fun after all. Seeing this device work on a linux box after only three weeks of knowing of its existance, and after having it here for only two days was quite satisfying I can tell. The X driver is finished as well and I will commit it to the X.org repository very soon. The fbdev addition to the USB kernel driver is almost on top of my to-do list. The latter is - I think - the hardest part because the fbdev stuff doesn't seem to be made for such devices and assumes a memory mapped framebuffer. But I am sure I will find a way. Perhaps some sort of "shadow framebuffer" like the X driver uses. We'll see.
