Re: [lcd4linux] Syslog overflow: "unable to compact bar characters"

[Michael R. <mi...@re...>]

Hi Stefan,

> What is here the problem? 

I suppose you're using a lot of different bars, maybe double bars.

A HD44780 display has only 8 user-defineable characters, and it is not
possible to map every combination of (double-)bars to this 8 chars.
lcd4linux tries to be very clever in finding a way to display your bars
with the available chars, but if the situation gets too complex it may
fail. This is what this message is about.

Hint #1: don't mix horizontal and vertical bars.
Hint #2: dont mix E(east) and W(west) bars

If this does not help, please post your full lcd4linux.conf

No, I'm afraid there is none. Maybe you can tweak your syslogd to not
write these messages to /var/log/syslog or whatever.

the fuzz values influences timings on the parallel port, and has nothing
to do with your problem.


Hope this helps
