All,
As you can see, I get little time to attend to maintenance chores on the
de4x5 driver. If there are particular problems that you want sorted out
please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Geez. Excuse me. I should watch my assumptions.
Out of curiosity, is there a reason why lspci reports vt82c586 and the
