[Cajun-users] Cajun with LCDproc: help!

[Patrick F. <fr...@be...>]

Hello,

For the past week I've been setting up a new Cajun 4.2 installation on a 
Debian box.  Everything works great except for one thing:  Cajun doesn't 
display anything on my CrystalFontz 634 USB display.

I've installed LCDproc 0.5.0 and tested it.  After starting LCDd, 
LCDproc's 'system' screen is displayed, and their lcdproc client works 
just fine.  I've configured an LCDproc output device in Cajun and when 
Cajun starts the LCDproc system screen updates to show one client and 
one screen, but nothing is displayed but LCDproc's system screen.  I 
turned on the additional logging options and in Cajun's log file I can 
see that my IR commands are being processed and that Cajun is processing 
the output filter.  (I can see the lines of text that I wish were being 
displayed on the LCD)  I've also checked LCDd's log file and confirmed 
that it logs a new socket connection whenever Cajun starts.

Has anyone tested Cajun with LCDproc 0.5.0?  I see in their release 
notes that the API has changed; would I be better off downgrading to 
LCDproc 0.4.5?

If the problem with using 0.5 is the new API, has anyone already tried 
to get Cajun working with LCDproc 0.5?  I hack Perl, MySQL and Apache 
for a living, so I'd be willing to attempt to implement a setting in the 
LCDproc output driver within Cajun to enable the new LCDproc API -- but 
I'd also appreciate knowing if someone has already attacked that 
particular dragon and retreated...

Anyway, thanks Paul (and other contributors) for the work you've done on 
Cajun.  When I decided to pursue this project I was thrilled I didn't 
have to roll my own software from scratch.  I'll eventually get my LCD 
working, and when I do I'll have almost exactly what I envisioned from 
the start...
