Does it work "out-of-the-box" with the Debian package of crafty? Will it
work with any chess program "out-of-the-box"?
The reason I ask is that I think crafty needs to be compiled with dgt
support. But if you type dgt in crafty you get:
Illegal move (ambiguous): dgt
These boards are expensive and it would be a shame if a user had to jump
through hoops to get it to work with Debian.
IANADD but would like to see this package in Debian *if* crafty worked
with it.
Maybe the crafty maintainer would consider helping you?
