General compiling...
For small things, it can be done on-device. So, download the tar.gz and unpack into an ext3 folder (not MyDocs).
Once decompressed, the normal procedure is to list all objects in the folder e.g.

Code:

cd /home/user/<folder>

ls -a

Sometimes, there's a configure script. If so, run

Code:

./<conf-scr>

Then finally, one runs a "make" tool, which creates the executable as per the instructions in the configuration:

Code:

sudo ./make install

- the appropriate complier(s) must be installed if source is not written in a scripting language.

For large software, compile on a pc (using scratchbox, creator, etc.) and make sure you're building for arm/x11 (or maemo5 if possible!)

New driver is working great, thanks!

Can we expect that this version, like the previous one, also drains too much power to be feasible as a full time replacement to the stock drivers?

The download link is already in kernel-power50 thread, and the how-to-install in the wiki. Help yourself, per favore.
