Grreat stuff, isn't it?

Well, I've got a 0.10 aka CVS .conf only, and I removed all the Wiring 
stuff from it, because with the current CVS, the LCM-162 (that's the 
internal display interface) has been built into the driver as a "Model", 
and uses hard-wiring.

UTSL says:

     if ((SIGNAL_RS      = drv_generic_parport_hardwire_ctrl ("RS", 
  "SELECT"))==0xff) return -1;

     if ((SIGNAL_RW      = drv_generic_parport_hardwire_ctrl ("RW", 
  "INIT"  ))==0xff) return -1;

     if ((SIGNAL_ENABLE  = drv_generic_parport_hardwire_ctrl ("ENABLE", 
  "AUTOFD"))==0xff) return -1;

     if ((SIGNAL_ENABLE2 = drv_generic_parport_hardwire_ctrl ("ENABLE2", 
"GND"   ))==0xff) return -1;

     if ((SIGNAL_GPO     = drv_generic_parport_hardwire_ctrl ("GPO", 
  "GND"   ))==0xff) return -1;


so the wiring sould be:

RS <=> SELECT
RW <=> INIT
ENABLE <=> AUTOFD
ENABLE2 <=> GND
GPO <=> GND

Note that this wiring is for 0.10 aka CVS, that's because RW is wired to 
INIT, and we're using busy-flag checking (whcih saves us a lot of CPU load)

Maybe you wanna try 0.10 anyway.


bye, Michael
