HI All, I maintain the Apogee Linux (and OS X) drivers for Apogee's range of ccd cameras. The drivers are GPL'd open source and the latest versions do not require kernel modules. I also sell an SDK on cd with a bunch of pre-compiled Astronomy packages to help develop your own apps. I am looking at better integration with INDI/Kstars (so many projects , so little time!)..
