Hi all, First off great job on the new release! I've been dying for scrolling output for ages! I'm having a problem though... I'm sure it's with the way I've got things configured... I'm using a CrystalFontz 634 by the way.. When scrolling, the new line does not clear the previous line. If the previous line had data that went to the end of the line and the next line, say has data that goes half way, the data from the previous line after the halfway mark remains. Example: If I have a line that reads: Up: 21 days 19:54 Which then scrolls up one line and the new line at the bottom reads: Disk | 19:54 So my question is: Is there a way that I can force a line to be cleared initially before the new line is written? Thanks for your help. james |

Hi James, > I'm having a problem though... I'm sure it's with the way I've got > things configured... I'm not shure... > I'm using a CrystalFontz 634 by the way.. This may be the problem. The CryFon Driver differs a lot from all other drivers. And I don't have any CrystalFontz display here to test with... > When scrolling, the new line does not clear the previous line. If the > previous line had data that went to the end of the line and the next > line, say has data that goes half way, the data from the previous line > after the halfway mark remains. I cannot reproduce here, but maybe I'm using the wrong setup. could you please provide your lcd4linux.conf, I will test with my MatrixOrbital (20x4). bye, Michael -- netWorks Vox: +43 316 698260 Michael Reinelt Fax: +43 316 692343 Geisslergasse 4 GSM: +43 676 3079941 A-8045 Graz, Austria e-mail: re...@eu... |

Hi James, Hi List, [I'm cc:ing this to the list again, because I'd need some help from other CrystalFontz users] you had this problem: >I'm having a problem though...

I Asked you for your lcd4linux.conf, here it is: > Display 634 > Port /dev/lcd > #Speed 9600 > Backlight 100 > Rows 5 > Scroll 1 > Turn 10000 > > > x1 uptime.pl > Row1 %x1 > Row2 "Busy %cb%% $r10cs+cb" > Row3 "Disk%dm $R10dr+dw" > Row4 "Net %nm $R10nr+nw" > Row5 "CPU Temp: %s1c" > #Row6 "Load%l1%L$r10l1" > > Tick 100 > Tack 500 > Tau 500 > > Overload 2.0 > > Sensor1 /proc/sys/dev/sensors/it87-isa-0290/temp1 > Sensor1_min 30 > Sensor1_max 100 I had to modify it a bit to meet the needs of my MatrixOrbital. But the problem does not arise here. Maybe because I don't have your "uptime.pl". Could you please provide this script, too? herp [author of the crystalfontz driver], anywhere out there? Your email adress is invalid... If all doesn't help, I'm afraid I have to rewrite the crystalfontz driver. It's the only driver not using the "general bar" functions. And I have to admit that I don't really understand herp's code here :-( bye, Michael -- netWorks Vox: +43 316 698260 Michael Reinelt Fax: +43 316 692343 Geisslergasse 4 GSM: +43 676 3079941 A-8045 Graz, Austria e-mail: re...@eu... |
