The black bars tell you that the display is working, but has not yet
been initialized. The initialization should be done by lcd4linux, but
fails for some reason.

possible reasons are:

- wrong wiring (please triple-check it!)
- wrong timing (try to play with the 'timing.fuzz' parameter)
- wrong parport :-)
- wrong voltage levels (modern parports deliver 3.3V, some displays may
need 5V)


HTH, Michael
