[lcd4linux] Serial CrystalFontz 632 Display problem! >compact bar chars

[Gnu_Raiz <gnu...@gm...>]

Hi: Fellow lcd4linux user's

After looking in the mailing list archives, and having no luck with google,
and with other search options I have come looking to the source for some
information.

First of all I have a CrystalFontz 632 serial display, hooked up to a seria=
l
port on my system. I am using the LCD4Linux 0.10.0 software version, since =
I
do not use cvs on this system I did not install that version.  Since most
people are using the usb version anyway it might not be in the tree anyway.

After setting up the display and playing with various widgets, I get this i=
n
my system logs.

unable to compact bar characters
nSegment=3D8 fSegment=3D1 CHARS=3D8 ICONS=3D2
Segment[0].val1=3D0 val2=3D0
Segment[1].val1=3D6 val2=3D0
Segment[2].val1=3D6 val2=3D1

When I try the testing layout section it only displays on the first line. I=
t
also has the blinking cursor on the second line and does not show any
characters.  It also does not go to anyother section of the layout, in othe=
r
words I am only shown the first part of the first section of the layout,
nothing else.

Of course this is a 16x2 display, which should scroll the text across the
screen and show some wonderful bar graphs.  I would love to get this set up
working with the lm-sensors widget as well as all the other nice features.

My current system specs are listed below.

Using Ubuntu AMD64
Opteron 165
lcd4linux 0.10.0
Kernel  2.6.15.1 custom built

lcd4linux was build from source following directions from the wiki.
