<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried installing Pluto (plutohome.com) on my
HMC-2K53A. I was scanning internet for potential VFD drivers (as many of you
also seem to have done) and noticed the DM140GINK appearing in one of their
plug-in's. Much to my surprise, the VFD fired up and worked like a charm.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Pluto is Debian based and open source so for
someone a tad more technical then me I am sure it will be very easy to extract
the driver from the code and plug in to MythTV (which also is a part of Pluto by
the way).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am not exactly thrilled to use Pluto as it is
very difficult to configure with lshwd and lsusb failing due to that broken USB
port. What I want is to run the 2.6.22-git16 and a nice simple MythTV and the
VFD working.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone wants to pick up on this I'd be very
happy.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS. The built in Wlan works with Ndiswrapper as
well as the RT2x00 driver but performance is a disaster. Unfortunately it works
flawlessly in windows using RT73x drivers. If anyone have succeded to get decent
performance in Linux, please let me know.</FONT></DIV>
