Also it is unclear how to slow down a widget, I have played with the
different speeds, the documentation is also not clear on what exactly the
tick and tack do, and what the update is for. I understand it is in
milliseconds, but it does not seem to work as advertised. For example the
widget cpuinfo fly's across my screen, and I have tried to slow it down but
it does not seem to work. If I try to use the gpo widget, I get this when it
tries to run the test.

Crystalfontz::GPO(1): GPO out of range (1..0)
Crystalfontz::GPI(1): GPI out of range (1..0)
Crystalfontz::GPO(4): GPO out of range (1..0)
Crystalfontz: gpio_draw(1): GPO out of range (0..0)
Crystalfontz: gpio_draw(1): GPO out of range (0..0)

Also if you run lcd4linux in interactive mode how do you quit out of the
mode? The man page does not show the proper technique to stop it.  I have to
kill the process to make it stop. ctrl C, or ctrl X, just seem to be std
output.

This is with ubuntu amd64 edgy

I would like to get get this working I am willing to test setups, and
layouts but something seems to be wrong.

I was curious if anyone had some insight about this problem, seems that the
serial displays are really not in use much. I understand that the
CrystalFontz usb uses a usb to serial driver, but I am unsure about the
serial aspect.
