[lcd4linux] Pertelian X2040 on tinycore linux

[Nathan B. <nat...@gm...>]

Hello,

Today I received my Pertelian X2040 LCD display, and I am trying to get it
to work on linux. It works fine on my windows box with the Pertelian
software. But when I compile lcd4linux and run it with a simple test string,
the text gets all mixed up and letters appear in random positions. I dont
know if the reason is because I am running it on a 64bit processor which
hasnt been tested before, or if its because Pertelian have updated the
devices firmware in some way.

Also, I would love to ask if anyone could tell me how the 'mysql' and
'sqlite' dependencies can be turned off? I want to run lcd4linux on tinycore
linux, and I don't want to have to load mysql or sqlite.. I was looking at
"./configure --help" and saw that you can turn off plugins, but which plugin
do I need to disable to get rid of sqlite3? Or, a better question would be:
is there a way to disable ALL plugins, except for the 1 or 2 that I want?

I will download and install 32bit ubuntu on my laptop tonight and see if the
LCD works properly on lcd4linux.

Cheers for your help,
Nathan B
