New version:

http://dev.gentoo.org/~tester/dist/mx5000tools-0.1.1.tar.gz

I adds a daemon that translated some hid codes that are not understood
by the Linux kernel into usable ones (using uinput). And it also adds
support to display images. There is also a netpbm based function to
transform pbm files into the image format accepted by the keyboard.
