[lcd4linux] Feature Request: Curses output for production use. Generic text file output.

[dreieck <lin...@gm...>]

Ahoj,

I have a "feature wish" for LCD4Linux.

* Use case:

  OpenWrt router with graphics output with a tiny HDMI display
  connected.

  OpenWrt does not (easily) support graphical environment, but shows a
  Linux console which is accessible via `/dev/tty0`, and also a
  framebuffer via `/dev/fb0`.

  I like to show status information there.

  For this, a simple to use output driver like the `curses` output
  driver is missing, which does _not_ show additional debugging
  information or a frame (the `curses` driver does show that). Without
  that, it would be an ideal driver for small displays showing the
  linux console, by directing the output to `/dev/tty<n>`.

  So, I have two feature wishes:

  1. A curses output without debugging and frame (or where this can be
     configured),
  2. a simple text file output.

Regards!
