I'd prefer not to have to maintain a fork. Pardon my slowness in response, deadlines make me tardy on following up on things. -- ...Adam Di Carlo...

There's already a ticket to track the libusb transition issue: https://github.com/lcdproc/lcdproc/issues/13 I've tagged this BTS ticket as forwarded to this github issue, even if it's not exactly the same problem Harald mentioned that lis driver does not require a dependency on libusb so the cleanup should be fairly simple. That said, this requires people willing to create a PR and having the HW to test. So far, nobody volunteered. Could you have a look there ? All the best Dod

Ok, no problem. Its a bit of shame that this software is unmaintained upstream with no replacement -- that I know of. However, I know that's not your fault. What's better, to just close this bug or should I upstream it? -- ...Adam Di Carlo...
