[lcd4linux] 20x2, lcd4linux does nothing

[Juhasz B. <ju...@gm...>]

Hi,

I've just downloaded the latest revision from CVS, and tried to configure 
lcd4linux, but I can't make a usable lcd4linux.conf...
In /var/log/messages I get this: 
Oct  5 18:26:06 calavera ppdev0: registered pardevice

And nothing displayed on the lcd (20x2). The cables are good, because I 
checked it with my friends machine.

Any suggestions?

Thanks before,
juhu

PS: I haven't used lcd4linux for 7-8 months. I'm running gentoo, with 
2.6.17-beyond-2.2. I double-checked the kernel configuration, so parallel 
port support is present in my kernel.

Here is my lcd4linux.conf:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Display HD44780-generic {
    Driver 'HD44780'

    update tick
}

    }
}
