[Lcdproc] Matrix Orbital on Linux x86_64

Ok, so I found the autogen.sh and was able to get farther with this. Now I
get this error in Syslog:
Jul 7 20:57:20 haruhi-new LCDd: glk: unrecognized module type: 0x2A
Jul 7 20:57:20 haruhi-new LCDd: Driver [glk] init failed, return code < 0
Jul 7 20:57:20 haruhi-new LCDd: Could not load driver glk
Jul 7 20:57:20 haruhi-new LCDd: There is no output driver
Jul 7 20:57:20 haruhi-new LCDd: Critical error while initializing, abort.
It is different so that is good, I just have no clue what that hex points
to. I was careful and made sure that the MtxOrb_LDADD was identical to the
glk_LDADD so I think I am a bit farther with this.
Any suggestions on this? I will look on my side to my limited knowledge of
the stuff in the code.
Regards,
Seann

Humzz I tested with a recent copy from cvs. I can
recommend a cvs snapshot over the latest official
release. See the sourceforge page on instructions
how to fetch a copy from cvs.
1) edited the server/drivers/Makefile.am
Pay attention though cause things are kinda case
sensitive. If in doubt copy the MtxOrb_LDADD
line and replace MtxOrb with glk.
2) ran auogen.sh
3) ran ./configure --enable-drivers=glk
4) ran make clean
5) ran make
After that went into the server folder and ran LCDd from there
with pretty much the default LCDd.conf. I'm at home right now
so didn't have any GLK to test with so tried fooling into opening
/dev/null but the driver was definitely unhappy about that but
at least it loaded.
I'll verify that it actually works when I get into the office tomorrow
morning but about 98% sure it works fine.
