You'll find a driver for dipix fpg-40 xpg-40 for 2.1 kernels available
via ftp in ongaonga.chch.cri.nz/pub/test/driver2.1.tgz

I've just checked and it compiles and loads on 2.1.89.

It's amazing what a bit a patience (and a few orders from Linux users)
can do for a companies support policies.
Dipix have always been very helpful with documentation which meant
that the driver got written in the first place, the availablility of
a working driver got a few more orders trickling in (etc).

Incidentally this driver is a good example of how NOT to write Linux
device drivers :), but it does allow Dipix to support Win/NT/Dos/Linux
with the same API. (I'm not criticising Dipix there, I wrote the 2.1
driver).
