[lcd4linux] missing 'Display' entry in lcd4tanu.conf!

[Tanuva <ta...@go...>]

Hello!

I was just playing around with lcd4linux - built my configuration file and 
tried to run lcd4l, but I'm getting the following error message:

marcel@marbuntu:~$ lcd4linux -f lcd4tanu.conf -Fvv
Version 0.10.1-CVS starting
plugin_cfg.c: Variable second = '1000' (1000)
plugin_cfg.c: Variable tack = '100' (100)

missing 'Display' entry in lcd4tanu.conf!

Like you can see below, there _is_ a 'Display' entry in my config file, so can 
you tell me what lcd4l expects me to add in the config?

Marcel 'Tanuva' B.
using Kubuntu 6.10 x86 with lcd4linux 0.10.1-CVS

Here's my config, changed one I found somewhere to fit my display:

Display SerdispTanu {
        Driver 'serdisplib'
        Port '/dev/parport0'
        Model 'HP12542R'
        Contrast 5
}

Variables {
        tick 500
        tack 100
#       minute 60000
        second 1000
}

Widget CPU {
        class 'Text'
        expression uname('machine')
        prefix 'CPU '
        width 9
        align 'L'
        update second
}

Layout Default {
        Row1 {
                Col1 'CPU'
        }
}

Hi Tanuva,

no, there is none :-)

you got a display section, but no display selection.

just add this line:

Display 'SerdispTanu'

(leave your display section as is!)

The reason is simple: you can have more than one display section, and
you can select one, e.g.

Display a {
   ...
}
Display b {
   ...
}

Display 'a'


Hope this helps, Michael

Okay, that was it - I found such a line in an entry on the timeline (lcd4l 
wiki), but it was like "Display 'xxx' Layout 'xxx'" where lcd4linux 
complained about the Layout part... Now it already accepts the config file 
but cant find the driver "serdisplib", but it certainly exists in /usr/lib... 
Do I have to put it somewhere else, too?

Have a look at the output of 'lcd4linux -l' (list drivers). If it doesnt
show a serdisplib driver, it has not been compiled in. In this case you
have to download the source package and compile it yourself.
