LCDproc / Discussion / Help: Migrating from LCD4Linux to LCDproc

Hi!

I have a Lanner FW-7565 with a LCM-162 display (driver: HD44780) running with Debian Squeezy on it. Because of the tiny display (20x2) I could with LCD4Linux only get two lines of information (for example: CPU + ETH0 usage) on the display. Therefore I wanted to migrate to LCDproc to get more information (key up/down for CPU, MEM, ETH0,… usage) on the display.

The problem is that my LCDproc output on the display is blinking and doesn´t show my “hello world”. Can you help me debug my config files? Here is the config:

Running LCD4Linux config:

Display LCM-162a {
    Driver 'HD44780'
    Model 'LCM-162'
    #Bus 'parport'
    Port '/dev/parport0'
    Size '20x2'
    UseBusy 0
    asc255bug 0
    Icons 0
    SingleKeyPress 1
    #Icons 0
    Contrast 95
    Backlight 50
}

Here is my LCDd.conf

# For example to give directly connected key 4 the string "Enter", use:
#   KeyDirect_4=Enter
# For matrix keys use the X and Y coordinates of the key:
#   KeyMatrix_1_3=Enter
KeyMatrix_4_1=Enter
KeyMatrix_4_2=Up
KeyMatrix_4_3=Down
KeyMatrix_4_4=Escape

Here is my log:
