[lcd4linux] [M50530] Displays goes black

[Maxime P. <max...@bu...>]

Hi lcd4linux users,

Thanks to Michael, I now own a M50530 display. I'm trying to get it
works, but I encounter a strange and annoying behavior from the
display.

Here's the configuration file I use :

Display M50530-24x8 {
        Driver          'M50530'
        Port            '/dev/parport0'
        Size            '24x8'
        Wire.EX         'STROBE'
        Wire.IOC1       'SELECT'
        Wire.IOC2       'AUTOFD'
        Wire.GPO        'GND'
}

Widget Test {
        class           'Text'
        expression      'LCD4Linux !'
        width           11
}

Layout Default {
       Row1 {
	    Col1	'Test'
       }
}

Display 'M50530-24x8'
Layout  'Default'

LCD4Linux runs correctly (# lcd4linux -Fvv), it goes up to the main
loop without problems. But here's the problem : the string 'LCD4Linux
!' is displayed on the LCD for about 250ms, and then the whole display
goes black, doing ... nothing.

Did you ever had this problem ?

Thanks,
- Sam

PS: I've tested the config with the X11 driver, it works
perflectly. We can't blame the parrallel cable too because the string
is correctly transmitted.
