Just checking the website it seems that the serial 632 does not offer this
function, but they do make a special lcd that is supposed to offer that. So
it makes sense to get these errors, I guess the documentation is not very
clear on this.

only one line, it seems that the modules are made for 4 row lcd screens.  I
would also like to know if transitions would work, as I have seen one screen
fade into another, right now under Windows I have the CF logo fade into a
foobar equalizer. I would just be happy if I could get the modules
alternate, which I haven't figured out yet.
