Tako, sorry I haven't had time to look at things yet.  Had to rebuild my
ir receiver over the weekend, then get mythgame working.  A man has to
have priorities :-)  I think the only real way to make it work for you
honestly is to get the 0.4.4 driver to work, or get a different lcd device
:-)  I like the cwlinux one :-)
