I think I'm back to something for the Mach1 I can use while the driver is being modified.

I did a build from current sources but into different bin directory. Then using github located the 4 lx200ap_experimental files from 1.8.5 replacing those in the local build area. After the build was run again, the indi_lx200generic binary was moved into the distribution's bin location.

The mount now starts up from cold unparked and tracking, Park/unpark and goto now work. Also KStars shows the correct location for the mount in the sky map. Many of the INDI panel's buttons are still dead, though I expect I will be able to edit the XML file to change settings in the meantime.

Now I suppose I should remove the PPA to prevent any updates.
