- LCDproc Testing		Updated 2004-04-02 -

We encourage testing the code from CVS or from the Nightly Tarballs. Build and installation instructions are also available.

- Current LCDproc v0.4.x Driver Status		Updated 2004-04-02 -

With LCDproc 0.4.3 (and later) the way drivers should work has slightly changed.
Drivers that have been written for LCDproc 0.4.1 will still work, but they don't make real use of the config file and still do their reporting independently and not via the new reporting capabilities of LCDd itself.
As well the driver API has slightly changed, which does not break compatiblity with older drivers completely but may cause some trouble.

Note that this table is somewhat unmaintaned. Report incorrect/missing entries to the List, please.

NOTE: All drivers that are marked as not ported still work. You can simply pass the arguments, which you have formerly added on the command line, to the driver by filling them in in the Arguments="..." field in the config file.

If the driver for your device is not among the drivers that have been ported, please send mail to the List. Provided you are willing to test the result (which should be simple) we might port the driver.
