Re: [lcd4linux] Pertelian X2040 on tinycore linux

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

Hi,

To follow on from my last email, I figured out how to compile lcd4linux with
the 2 plugins that I needed, and have got it running (somewhat) on tinycore
linux, on a compaq evo thin client. However, the buggy Pertelian driver
issue still remains. This time, its even worse ... It was quite bad on my
64bit ubuntu machine, but its absolutely unreadable and scrambled when
running on tinycore linux. Can someone advise if I could somehow fix this
with a tweaked parameter or something?

Cheers,
Nathan B
