<div dir="ltr">I too left a comment, and emailed the author, Karel Gardas. I didn't realise until now that Karel had replied to me and answered everyone's comments within less than 4 hours of my email; all 6 comments were posted or moderation-approved on the 6th. I'm disappointed with myself for missing Karel's replies, but nevertheless, at least I can now say that you should now have the information you asked for. The replies seem to be in depth.</div>

<div dir="ltr">I'm not sure about the hardware access, but Karel seems to have made a lot of progress in this respect, having a blog about it, and tells me is also interested in and uses Ubuntu.<br clear="none">
Hopefully you should now be able to solve the problems in the way of getting this to work. Good luck with your efforts; I'm very enthusiastic to see if you can solve this!</div>
