Hm, I don't think that's the reason.  I read your posts, and they made
sense to me.  But I don't have any similar hardware, and can't confirm,
debug, or otherwise make a useful contribution.  That may be more of a
reason for nobody responding.

Another reason is that people are generally busy and just don't have
time to read the list.  We aren't ignoring you on purpose, so please
don't give up.

Patches always get more attention too :).
