Thanks, I've got the sources. But first I tried with the pre-compiled
binaries. Finally I managed to get it running on a PC. The aim is,
however, to get it running on an ARM... Any experience with SM501 on
non-ix86 platforms?

Or, rather, what has to be taken care of when porting a X* driver to
non-ix86?

Thanks
