Kstars hardware control in KDE 4.1 packages.

[Gerrit Jan baarda <gjbaarda@xs4all.nl>]

Hi there,

Does anyone know what the status of the experimental KDE4.1 packages is with 
regards to kstars (indi) telescope hardware control? 

I recently installed KDE 4.1 from experimental and I wanted to use kstars to 
control my telescope. This used to work fine in the 3.5.x series.

With the kstars/indi (4:4.0.98-1) in KDE 4.1RC as available in experimental 
today I cannot get any hardware to work. Kstars hangs when searching for the 
serial interface telescope wizzard. Also my web cam does not show up in the 
Indi device list, it used to be under the video capture devices, but now no 
capture devices show up at all. 

I have looked in the upstream developers list archives and I haven't found 
similar problems mentioned there, so it could be:

1. Me doing something stupid :)
2. A problem with the current debian package.
3. An upstream problem that is not been flagged up to the upstream developers.

I would like to see kstars working again so I would appreciate some help 
here... 

Gerrit Jan.
