[serdisplib-users] Serdisp and L4M132c

[Biologisch T. 'V. h. L. <in...@va...>]

Good evening,

    A time ago I submitted a bug
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3088296&group_id=98249&atid=620438)
concerning the l4m132c display and the linux input event system. Since
sourceforge automatically closed the tracker bug report, I could open
another one or contact you directly. I hope you don't mind I chose the
latter.
    This bug really affects the usability of my display, whether it's a
hardware bug or a bug in serdisplib. So, I would really like to get this
beast done. I've put my project online a few days ago. It's also hosted
at sourceforge. Could you please try your l4m132c device with my code?
My application needs permissions to access the device. I made this magic
happen automatically through udev. Here's my udev rule:

SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="4243", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ee08",
MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="4243", ATTRS{idProduct}=="ee08",
MODE="0666"

    I'm using debian and placed the udev rule in this file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules. This makes the device accessible for
ordinary users, so you don't need to be root to try my application.
    This is what happens with my hardware: after a couple of minutes
after showing the initial screen on the device the mouse pointer starts
to jump over the screen. If you press a button on the remote, the best
you can get are screwed up characters. If you compiled my application
with debug enabled, you will also see many input read errors.
    If this really turns out to be a hardware bug, the best thing to do
would be adding a driver option like 'BUGGYHARDWARE=1' imho. My
application supports passing options to a driver from it's configuration
file, much like lcd4linux.
    I hope you find the time to try my application, it's located at
sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/snoozzzy/ You can download
the tarball or checkout from git. To build it you need development
packages of gstreamer, udev, glib2 and freetype2 installed along - of
course - serdisplib.

Thanks in advance,
Okkel Klaver

[serdisplib-users] Still activity?

[Andreas <An...@t-...>]

Hello !

I am new to this list and wonder if here is still activity.

Is this project still under development or is it death?
