[lcd4linux] Minor config question

[Luis.F.Correia <Lui...@se...>]

Hi all

I have a question: my LCD is a 24x2 hd44780,

I want to show various data on line one but the ppp info 
in line two.

this is what i thought to do:


Create 4 rows like this:

Row1 "BUSY..."
Row2 "PPP..."
Row3 "Linux 2.4.20..."
Row4 "PPP..." (this line is identical to line 2)

I define rows 4, scrool 2, to force lcd4linux to skip the 
rows two by tow, so that on line 2 i get always the PPP information.

However this does not work, as lcd4linux will only skip one line 
at a time.

Is this a bug or an intentional feature?

Thanks

Try if replacing "scrool 2" with "scroll 2" helps... ;-)
