Thanks Ken!)





That was 99.997% Eliot.  I just got the vm-display-fbdev up with


libevdev on Raspi3/4 & LePotato.

Ken, it feels to me much closer to 50/50.  You actually wrote the code and did the testing to get the FFI working.  Yes I helped you because it's my framework and my architecture, but you learned it and made it work.  But you *were* & *are* instrumental in realizing the ARMv8 VM.  Thank you.  In fact I'm extending your structs-passed-in-registers code right now to cope with HFAs (homogenous float arrays with four or fewer elements).  Once we have the JIT fully working then I can take some more credit, but you've supported me with crucial testing.  

Great thanks to Eliot !!!

and to Ken!!
