[lcd4linux] problem with big HD44780 display

[Matthias M. <lcd...@me...>]

Dear all,

I got a big HD44780 display with 2 controllers.
With the old 9.11.8 version of LCD4LINUX and the config

Display HD44780
Port /dev/parport0
Size 40x4
Controllers 2
Delay 503
Wire.RW AUTOFD
Wire.RS INIT
Wire.ENABLE STROBE
Wire.GPO GND

it worked very well.

Now I've tried to reactivate my display after a year and I can't get the two bottom lines to start.
Line 1 and 2 work very well, but.... :-(

Can someone please help and tell me which config I need to use for LCD4LINUX 0.10.0-RC1?

I tried several versions including the following

Display HD44780-40x4 {
    Driver 'HD44780'
    Model 'generic'
    Port '/dev/parport0'
    Bits '8'
    asc255bug 0
    UseBusy 1
    Controllers 2
    Size '40x4'
    Size1 '20x2'
    Size2 '20x2'
    Wire {
        RW     'AUTOFD'
        RS     'INIT'
        ENABLE 'STROBE'
        GPO    'GND'
    }
}

Where is the difference between Version 9 and 10 in this point?


Thanks,

Matthias
