  That would be me.  I had intended to post both my copies of the LCG and
LCSPX drivers for people to try a couple of weeks ago.  I wanted to verify
that they still compiled and worked, but my laptop (my build machine at
home) keeps dropping the CPU speed when it starts working hard (I'll blame
the BIOS upgrade I did in January) and it took too long to do the build
and I didn't have the time to test it on both the 4000/90 and 4000/VLC I
have at home.  I was going to work on it last weekend, but I ended up
going out of town for a memorial service for one of my uncles.

  He's not the only one being busy.  I've got a fix or work-around for
this and I haven't gotten around to running by Ragge yet.  I was also
going to post my changes for this along with the graphics drivers.
