I just got a machine that has a built-in usb LCD too, so I now have test hardware. Some random notes: - any platform that has or could have usb or serial should be able to run this - just chop out parallel goo on platforms that don't have it - platforms that don't have serial, parallel or usb should be able to run a client, the daemon and an x11 emulator. - i don't want to install the METAR module to have an lcd driver. you could subpackage the METAR display script in its own little package with a dependency on this module. I'll give this a spin on my amd64 and sparc64 also... CK -- GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
