I really don't know. I never used such boards myself, and I probably
won't until someone decides to donate one.

Reading the original post from Andras Bali (who wrote the lm77 driver)
reveals that he was using the scx200_acb driver under Linux 2.6, but had
to change some values to get it to work:

Maybe you need to do the same changes to the 2.4 driver, and maybe even
more if the 2.6 driver is more up to date that the 2.4 driver.

Maybe Andras Bali would be able to help you as he seemed to know the
hardware very well.
