[lcd4linux] Newbie - confusing .conf file...

[Kenneth S. <ke...@gm...>]

Hello all!=20
 I have a 20x4 HD44780-compatible parallel LCD-display which I would like t=
o=20
use with my Fedora (Core 3) home webserver.

The display works fine in Windows (Smartie53) thus it is not a hw-problem,=
=20
but I can't get it to work with lcd4linux...=20

The display is wired like this:

LCD Pin - Symbol - Parallell pin
1 Vss GND
2 Vdd +5V=20
3 Vo GND
4 RS Parallelpin 16=20
5 R/W GND
6 E Parallelpin 1=20
7 DB0 Parallelpin 2=20
8 DB1 Parallelpin 3=20
9 DB2 Parallelpin 4=20
10 DB3 Parallelpin 5=20
11 DB4 Parallelpin 6=20
12 DB5 Parallelpin 7=20
13 DB6 Parallelpin 8=20
14 DB7 Parallelpin 9=20
15 A +5V=20
16 K GND
 Is this a predefined wiring (like 8-bit, winamp and so on)?

Anyone who can help with a lcd4linux.conf? I suspect it to be a driver=20
problem, as long as the Driver section of the .conf is ok, I will probably=
=20
be able to configure the rest myself...

Thankful for all help...
