Hello Xavier...
(sorry for responding to your mail). Outlook is a pain. I must change
that in the future. =)

Hehehe... =) Ive no problem with playing around withh puzzles where a
piece is missing... Its okay. For that i use cvs. Building a release is
a bit boring, since there is all okay like orange smoothie... =)

Thats what i realized. I wasnt able to find plugin_isdn.c in the sources.

Thank you ALOT for your help. I havent tried it until now, but i will 
in some minutes. I let you know if this works (im sure it will!). =)
Again, thank you alot for that !

>Sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope this will help you !
I will try and let you know in some hours...

Hello Xavier, hello Michael

I try to compile it again with the corrected version.
It works now!

Now its time to play around with this toy. 
Should the animated icons also work for the HD66712-Model
of the HD44780? A first attempt didtn succeed, but i guess
ive to much bars in the display.

I thank you both for your real nice support. With humans
like you both, open-source is just fun - thanks for that!

Regards,
Andreas

In fact, I've never heard about this model, but if it's hd44780 compatible, it must support icons too.
I suspect a problem in your config. Try with no bar and a "Icon x" entry
in the Driver section (x is the number of icons to allocate).

Yes, free software is cool, that's why we write this program ;)

Bye !

PS: you should try Thunderbird, it's really cool. I used to run Sylpheed
too, it's ligher, but less nice (and works in zindoz).

I think it only depends on the guys behind a project and the
will to invest in such a baby... =)

Ok. This thing is compiling fine now. And all of the Widgets
are working (also the kinda-splittet bars). But i cant get
it to work with animated Icons or the "Lightning", also if
i disable all bars. I think there is something different
with the HD66712. But i dunno, whats different
cause the bars work and they contain (as i understand)
also some "icons" (the half blocks?).

This is a link to the Technical Papers of that Controller.
Maybe one of you can see any difference?
I guess this display becomes popularer until now, since
www.kernelconcepts.de is selling such beasts here in
Germany for a moderate price. Completly wired like the
Winamp-Wiring-Method, with a nice Adapter"card" to stick a
Parallel-Cable on it.

Hm. I use one of the sample-configs and modify it slightly to match the
choiced Display. Maybe you got a low-level config you can hand me? Ive just
tried like you wrote and no Icon appear - i still cant understand why the
bars
working on the other hand?

Again any ideas? Hope not to bother you all.

Thanks in advance...
Andreas

Strange, very strange. For the bars working, I don't thinks it's a 
problem with the HD66712, because internally they use the same logic for 
user-defined characters.

I'd try to add a "X11" display section and try your config with that 
one. If this is not working, too, there may be a real problem with your 
config. If itr works, there may be a problem with the HD66712. In this 
case, pelase send me your config file and the output of 'lcd4linux -Fvv'


bye, Michael
