[lcd4linux] Weired output with kernelconcepts.de HD66712

[Helge J. <he...@ci...>]

Hello,

I bought an HD66712 at kernelconcepts.de which follows the winamp scheme
(http://www.kernelconcepts.de/products/lcd-wiring-new.gif). But I
continue to have problems getting the expected results:

I specified in /etc/lcd4linux.conf :

Display HD44780
Port /dev/parports/0
Size 20x4
#Delay 503
Bits 8
Wire.RW "AUTOFD"
Wire.RS "INIT"
Wire.ENABLE "STROBE"
Wire.GPO "GND"

Row1 "* My Linux Server *"
Row2 "%p CPU  %r MB RAM"
Row3 "Busy %cb%%"
Row4 "Load%l1%L"
Row5 ""
Rot6 ""
Row7 "Zeile Sieben"
Row8 "Zeile Acht"

But I get something similar to this

,Server * Zeile Sieb
erver * Busy 0%
eile Acht1 MB RAM
1 MB RAMLoad 0.00

(note that Row 7 and 8 are "drawn" although they shouldn't - display is
20x4)

I already did some testings as well as google-research and found out the
reason is that the HD44780 uses a different adress mapping than my
HD44612. The fli4l driver (http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcd or
http://www.kernelconcepts.de/products/lcd.tar.gz) has an option
"a_type=1" to handle this but I don't know to specify this one in
lcd4linux.

Sadly I'm out of ideas how to solve the problem and hope that anybody of
you has a solution.

Thanks in advance,
  Helge Jung
