[Lcd4linux-devel] LCD4Linux-0.10.0-RC1 doubts..

[Francisco P. A. <fra...@di...>]

I'm poking around with the new RC1 version.. so.. first of all i had 
some confusion betwen old .conf format and the new.. i supose the old .9 
conf files are not interpreted as well.. right? i have an HD44780 lcd
now my troubles are:

I didn't get how to use virtual rows and cols (a virtually bigger 
screen, scrolling around my real one..i think) maybe i didn't get in 
which section this rows, scroll, etc params go..

I didn't get to work my sensors.. they seem not to be detected well.. 
altough my lmsensors is working ok.. i tried kernel modules and compiled 
in.. i have a via mini-itx board.. with "vt1211-isa-6000" chip.. anyway 
i get this:
Feb 23 18:50:32 scarpiera LCD4Linux[2364]: i2c_sensors: unable to 
autodetect i2c sensors!
uhm.. how does he autedetect this??

Another strange behaviour of my HD44780 is that it is not able to 
visualize personalized icons and bars that are not either North nor East 
oriented.. is this normal (i'm not trying to display all this things in 
the SAME time.. just separately)? maybe it should redefine the icons in 
function of the free character it has, right?

Finally I was also arguing what was the msr.h support for lcd4linux used 
for? i get this:
Feb 23 18:50:32 scarpiera LCD4Linux[2365]: udelay: The file 
'include/asm/msr.h' was missing at compile time.
What would the benefits be.. and why is the ./configure not detecting 
this .h in my system? i have it in /asm altough.. and of course my 
/proc/cpuinfo says i have msr support.. ;)

Ok i also have a feature suggestion if it would be not too complicated: 
since the bar indicators are automagically scaling according to the 
maximum value they register.. after a while and after for instance a big 
download burst, the eth indicator is almost invisible on the bar.. is it 
possible to set some sort of timeout which resets the peak maximum scale 
value? it would realy be visually more appealing..

thanks for attention and sorry for the too many questions i flowed in 
with.. =) hope someone has time for them, anyway thanks for this great sw!
