I guess I was just trying to clarify that CHDK can do novel things with what canon provides by re-programming them in different ways, but is still working fundamentally with the core functions of the canon software.
I forget where I was reading, but I think there is evidence that canon starts with a fully loaded eos software and works backwards, removing certain functions out of lower end models. I think there are stray parameters and other things indicating certain functions that were once plugged in but have been removed, but I forget the article source so I can't be sure.
(3) OSD sometimes fails to redraw, getting wiped off the display.Example: When CHDK menu is active in shooting mode and camera tries to lock something (moving rectangle on the screen), CHDK menu gets wiped off the screen as the rectangle moves behind (or over, as it looks like). Once we force CHDK menu to refresh (by pressing the down arrow, for example), it gets visible once again - just to be wiped off again by the moving rectangle. It makes navigating the CHDK menu in shooting mode a bit hard.

Its been discussed many times on this forum and believe it or not, is much less of an issue since philmoz greatly improved the code last year. In simple terms, the problem is that the Canon firmware does not know CHDK exists and so writes to the display whenever it chooses to (not knowing or caring that there might be CHDK information also being displayed). Unless somebody discovers a way to override that in the Canon firmware (and nobody has after 7 years) then we will just have to live with that behavior.
1: In spite of tutorials and guides, I could not see my Firware (ver.req unicod etc etc + set disp holding don't work), so I went to trial and error, I finally found two working versions, is indifferent to use one or the other?
Now i'm waiting for lcd off time-lapse script if someone can help me , its very important, non indispensable but it can do the difference for me.
