[Lcd4linux-devel] Noritake-311 trouble

[Peter A. <pe...@le...>]

First of all, thanks for making this great lcd app. I have been searching
for something like this for a long time.

Now to my problem, all i get on the display is "garbage", or a mass of
letters meaning nothing. In windows this can be resolved by changing
"execution time" (a sort of refreshrate). Is there a similar opiton in
lcd4linux? I have tried changing "update" in the config file with no luck=
.
When i start lcd4linux it usually takes 2-3 tries before the display show=
s
any text at all.
Text mode is the only one working for me, when i use graphical mode
lcd4linux crashes at once. I have tried both -v and -vv flags with no
success.
If anyone has any clue what the problem could be please let me know. Also
if there are any updated driver parameters for the noritake driver i'd be
interested to know about them.

Thanks

/Peter
