polar alignment assistant : cannot select speed was created by Kim Heetae

recently I got update my raspberry pi.
Then I see the "speed" selection on the polar alignment assistant. but I cannot select anything-nothing appears! (west/east selection is ok)
and EKOS cannot rorate my mount(CRUX170hd, using LX200 protocol, made by HOBYM observatory)

what's wrong? before update, everything was good.

other mount function is good(tracking, plate&solve-sync, manual rotaion)
so I'm rotating mount manually, typing RA and DEC.

At any rate, I completely abandoned GOTO and instead went with the simple Go West, and Go East controls.

Maybe this can be a problem.

What INDI driver is used? Apparently TELESCOPE_SLEW_RATE is not defined by the driver.

Ah this makes sense then. There are no speeds with LX200Basic. Try a more advance driver.

Can I get the older version, instead?
Other drivers cannot handle my mount.

Same here. Drivers other than LX200basic won't work. Tried them all. I have to stick to this basic one.

Does the mount move as intended with this driver? I'd be happy to test this tonight.

A quick indoor test with the fs2 driver revealed the mount does move but no crosshairs is shown (for a fraction of a second only). Selecting speeds in the mount TAB does work, too. This suggests to me the LX200basic mount is able to digest speed commands. Now I am wondering why aren't they implemented in the lx200basic driver?
