there is a new binary pakage at

http://salt.com.tw/Download/Driver/PenMount/PenMount%20Ubuntu%209.10%20Driver%20V2.4.4.tar.gz

which works fine for me, but the installer isn't very polite have a look at install.sh bevore using it!

Issue/Bug ###

Penmount 9000 RS232 + Ubuntu 7.04 + Penmount Ubuntu drivers 2.0 = X crashes (not always) and restarts by itself inconsistently....

After installing penmount drivers, the X crashes/restarts automatically on ubuntu 7.04 Desktop Edition.

We see in syslog “repro gdm[4895]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 “
