Re: [Cajun-users] Cajun with LCDproc: help!

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

I hate to reply to my own message because it tends to imply I didn't do 
my homework, but...

LCDproc 0.4.5 does, in fact, work fine in my installation.  Version 
0.5.0's API has changed enough to cripple Cajun's attempts to control 
it.  The changelog for 0.5.0 doesn't list any new features that interest 
me, so I don't see any need to modify the Cajun source... not yet, anyway.

I guess my next task is to package the hardware.  Anyone built a Cajun 
setup into a furniture-grade wood box suitable for a home A/V rack?  
Time to incorporate my woodworking hobby into this project...
