This is nice to see this device working with Scid. I just ordered a Novag Citrine, and I will try to make it work with Scid also. Can you tell us a bit more about Dream Cheeky ? Is it reliable ? Considering the driver, I suppose you wrote a kernel module ? Wouldn't it be possible to use a user space program ? Maybe using sockets for IPC, hence making something more portable between various OS. I don't know if this would suffice to open /dev/ttyUSB0 for example without any driver under Linux, then the only configuration needed is to point to the correct /dev/ node.
