Correct. All access is one u8 at a time so neither unaligned access nor
endianness should be an issue.
I couldn't think of any other way to do this since each byte in the G13
image format consists of one bit from eight bytes in the framebuffer.

Ideally, we could add a 40x40 logo. But, I didn't know if anyone really
wanted to go down that path until other devices needed it.
The 40x40 penguin logo takes up 200 bytes. The g13 text 300 or so bytes.
So there is a way the default image could be created for ~500 bytes rather
than the 860 bytes the current version uses.

An example is here:
http://g13.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/g13/trunk/g13/framebuffer.c?view=markup
In particular the g13_device_framebuffer_open() function starting at line
55 uses this attribute.

At the current time I'm using it as a mmapped region. I've actually got it
working with both cairo and papyrus.
I don't believe dfb supports monochrome and I haven't tried X. I thought
consolefb would be cool though. I looked at it, but I couldn't immediately
figure out how to start a console on the fly and it hasn't been an
extremely high priority.
With cairo and papyrus working I can see various applets claiming segments
of the LCD and using it for their display.

The rate limit ensures that the defio delay remains sane.

I did, but this seemed a simpler approach to let user space (such as a
daemon) manage the leds. In particular this could be used by a user space
program to map the keys. The MR led could be used to indicate an active
record mode, etc.

There is alot exposed to userspace, but there is a use for everything
exposed.
The rgb is so that a userspace app can set the backlight colors.
The driver supports three keymaps for fast switching using the M1, M2 and
M3 keys. But, with the keymap, emit_msc_raw and mled attributes exposed a
userspace app can support other combinations such a M1, M2, M3, M1+M2,
M1+M3, M2+M3, etc.
I also think it would be useful if the keymap set switched out according
to the application that has the current focus (and perhaps the backlight
color were set as well). That would require the aforementioned to be
exposed to something that watched the focus from userspace and took the
necessary actions.

No problem with incremental feedback. It's definitely appreciated.
Thanks again,
