[lcd4linux] Fwd: PicoLCD from Mini-Box M300 not detecting?

[Kaya S. <kay...@gm...>]

Ok managed to get the display recognized as it was on the wrong USB header!

However, when running: lcd4linux -Fvv

I get:

# cat lcd

with a whole bunch of these errors:

and additionally this error too:

Starting lcd4linux: error evaluating variable 'button_text' from 
/etc/lcd4linux.conf


Can anyone help me with that?


Thanks,


Kaya

Hi,

I'm totally new to working with LCD's and linux. I purchased a Mini-Box
Mini-ITX case with 20x2 PicoLCD module embedded to run on a Trixbox
based Asterisk server.

The display lights up and information is displayed on the panel and the
keyboard works at least for the power key.

I hooked it up via the on-board USB connector to the internal USB header
on the system board.


I have the wiring diagram for it at hand even though came pre-wired but
still I think all that was needed was to attach the USB cable to the
system board.....


Anyway, when I run the lcd4linux command I get this output:

# lcd4linux -Fvv
Version 0.10.1-RC1-768 starting
error evaluating variable 'button_text' from /etc/lcd4linux.conf
plugin_cfg.c: Variable n = '0' (0)
plugin_cfg.c: Variable nkey = '0' (0)

picoLCD: $Rev: 759 $
picoLCD: scanning for picoLCD...
picoLCD: could not find a picoLCD

How come that it isn't finding the picoLCD device?


I took the sample configuration from here:

http://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/wiki/picoLCD


and also checked out this as well:

http://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/ticket/265

but am a bit confused?


Can anyone give me a hand as to what is going on?




This is the output of uname -a:

2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Thu May 7 10:39:21 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386

lsusb doesn't actually show anything either?

Many thanks!!
