[lcd4linux] Nexcom - HD44780

[Wayne W. <wa...@wa...>]

Hi 

I am having problems setting up lcd4linux with my new nexcom machine. Maybe
there is somebody out there that it has worked with. I have the model 1045
which uses (as far as I know) the HD44780 driver. It looks like the machine
on the frontpage of the lcd4linux site.

I dont see anything though on the display. I have heard that I must specify
"LCM-162" as a "Model". How would i do this .. i tried adding the line model
"LCM-162" to the config but this didnt work. I am running kernel 2.6.7.

My config looks like this :

Display HD44780
Port /dev/parports/0
Size 16x2
Delay 503
Bits 4
Row1 "Test1"
Row2 "Test2"

If I run the command : 
server lcd4linux # /usr/bin/lcd4linux -f /etc/lcd4linux/lcd4linux.conf  -Fvv
Version 0.9.11 starting
lcd4linux.c: initializing driver HD44780

Any help is much appreciated
