(subdirectory: lcd4linux-rpm) - you will also find a SRC.RPM there.

- ------ changelog ------
* Fri Oct 17 2003 - Thomas Siedentopf
- - added configuration examples and hints to /etc/lcd4linux.conf
- - added README.Tokens and README.Rows to package

* Thu Oct 16 2003 - Thomas Siedentopf
- - added a runlevel init script to package

* Wed Oct 08 2003 - Thomas Siedentopf

Please notice that you will _not_ get any support from SuSE if you run into
trouble with these packages.

For further informations or SuSE specific help regarding lcd4linux please send
a message to this list or contact me directly. I will try to solve any SuSE
specific issue.

Thomas.

Hi Michael,

CVS version with your patch applied worked OK with my "problem config".

Maybe the "official" 0.9.11 segfaults because of other side-effects. I'm 
afraid I'm too busy at the moment to debug this one.

Does the CVS version chrash, too? This would be too bad. If so, please 
send me your lcd4linux.conf. If the CVS version works for you - please 
use it.

bye, Michael

Hi Michael,

Patch applies OK (with some offsets & fudge though (CVS version too btw)).
But running the program with my example results in a Segmentation Fault.
I also editted the fixes in manually to rule out patch problems:  same result.

OK. Maybe my previous posting was a bit mistakable. I just wanted to know w=

the exact syntax for the GPO Tokens is.

Thanks, but this is not needed anymore. I was too blind to see. My general =
GPO=20
settings were correct, but something mysterious in my mind was telling me t=
o=20
create something stupid like this:

GPO1 "echo -e 1"

instead of:

x1 echo -e 1
GPO1 %x1

Hi Michael,

0.9.11 + patch crashes.

CVS version still shows bug.  But I noticed the fix is *not* in CVS yet.
CVS + patch works OK.

Thanx for fixing !

Hi Rob,

Well, looks like you found a bug in the X11 driver. It did only affect 
the raster drivers (X11, PNG, ...), all the other drivers worked well. 
That's why I did not notice this bug.

Anyway, thanks for pointing this out! It's fixed in CVS; for 0.9.11 you 
could try to apply the attached patch.

Waht do you mean with "crahses"? Does the patch not apply? Or does 
lcd4linux crash?

> CVS version still shows bug.  But I noticed the fix is *not* in CVS yet.

There's a very annoying problem with SourceForge's anonymous CVS: This 
server runs on their backup machines, which will be updatet every 24 
hours. So you may encounter a 24h delay until you see my changes in CVS.

Fine!

It would be really helpful if you could provide a link to some 
information (or even a datasheet) for this display.

Not that easy: It depends on the 'Hardware' you are using. Which 
Display? How much GPO's?

I will try to prepare a sample config for you if you provide this infos.

Unfortunately, the above link didn't work for me, so I can't say if one 
of the drivers that come with lcd4linux will work with that display. But 
since it's controlled via the serial port, I'd try with the ones where 
the docs suggest that they're connected to the serial port (one of them 
_may_ work).

I hope that helps.

Hi Martin,

Your suggestion allowed me to do the configure/compile properly.

Now I need to figure out which driver to use....  Will keep the list posted.
I know there's quite a few people in a Yahoo newsgroup that is very
interested in getting this working as well for the Toshiba Magnia SG-20.

[lcd4linux] Help > Using LCD4Linux on Toshiba Magnia SG-20 Internet Appliance with RedHat 9.0

[Simon K. <si...@co...>]

Hi there.

We'd like to use the LCD4Linux tool to control the 16-character x 2-line
backlit LCD on the Toshiba Magnia SG-20 Internet Appliance where we've
installed RedHat 9.0.

I've extracted the file and attempted to do ./configure in the directory of
the extracted files but the script goes to an error message:

checking which drivers to compile... done
configure: WARNING gd.h not found: PNG driver disabled
configure: WARNING gd.h not found: PNG driver disabled
configure: error: X11 headers or libraries not available: X11 driver
disabled

Where do I remove the PNG and X11 drivers out?

thanks!

-- sImon.

Too bad - well, it was worth a try.

As a workaround (until the bug gets fixed), I guess you could cheat and 
simply define the static icon as this:

Icon2.Bitmap1 ..*..|..*..
Icon2.Bitmap2 ..*..|..*..
Icon2.Bitmap3 ..*..|..*..
Icon2.Bitmap4 ..*..|..*..
Icon2.Bitmap5 *****|*****
Icon2.Bitmap6 .***.|.***.
Icon2.Bitmap7 ..*..|..*..
Icon2.Bitmap8 .....|.....

It's a bit of a waste of user-defined chars on a physical display (the 
number of user-definable chars is pretty limited on some LCDs), but I 
guess it's a workaround for the time being.

Yup I already do that (also in the example), but it's kind of annoying

But the bug is really there.  Changing it to 2 (or 8) does not solve the

[lcd4linux] lcd4linux-0.9.11 icon bug ?

[Rob v. N. <ro...@ve...>]

Hi,

Maybe I'm missing something trivial, but it seems there's a bug in
the handling of icons.  Animated icons work fine, but just a plain
icon seems not to work: just nothing is displayed.  See attached screenshot.

I use Red Hat 9, lcd4linux-0.9.11, X11 driver (PNG doesn't work either).

Huh?
Could you please double-check this one? I'd like this warning to go away.

I fixed this warning (at least I tried to)

Here we are. I try to fix this one, too, or better, provide a workaround
for alpha.

It is the right place.

I tried to fix things in CVS. Could you please check out the latest 
version from CVS. Please double-check if your udelay.c is v1.14, 
otherwise you were bitten by the "SourceForge Anonymouse CVS Delay Bug" 
(just wait up to 24 hours in this case).

If ou need assistance with CVS, let me know!

Sorry for such a large post, and I hope this gets to the right place on the mailing list and doesn't start a new topic. Once again, thanks; I hope we can find a solution.

msr are i386 specific, so it may be correct that this file is missing on 
alpha.

What exactly are the errors?

configure should check if you have a msr.h. But at the moment, if you 
don't, lcd4linux uses its own hard-coded definition, which consists of 
i386 assembler code. I'd not expect them to work on alpha :-)

Maybe we can find a solution together. I'd like lcd4linux running on alpha!

bye, Michael

[lcd4linux] Compiling on Alpha.

[<zg...@ne...>]

Hello all. 
There has been a lot of talk about the 2.4 kernel ( especially redhat ) and compiling problems with msr.h.
I have an Alpha computer running debian linux with 2.4 kernel. 

#uname -a
Linux ani 2.4.18 #4 Sun Sep 7 18:05:31 MST 2003 alpha unknown

When I compile lcd4linux (lcd4linux-0.9.11) it gives me udelay.c errors with the missing msr.h. Looks like debian doesn't have msr.h. The i386 asm's do , but alpha ones don't . I tried the i386 ones for fun: Didn't work. 

Anybody have any ideas? Thanks for your help
Questions about my setup or files or have are welcome.

Zach

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid lcd4linux does not support this Controller. At 
least not at the moment.

If you have such a thing, maybe you could try to write a driver? As it's 
a graphical one, you could use the T6963 as a basis. I would support you 
as much as I can. Believe me, it's quite easy to write (or adopt) such a 
driver, but you need a display for testing, and, most important, a 
datasheet.

I'd really appreciate if you would implement this driver!
