control backlight on HD44780

Anonymous — Sun, 20 Jun 2004 10:54:04 -0000

I have an HD44780 display where the backlight is
controllable from software. I believe that you've seen
one of these before, and it's on your to-do list. I
will attach a patch that I created that works with my
board.

My pin connections are as listed on this page:

Multiple Virtual Screens

Sharp Hall — Tue, 01 Oct 2002 02:50:43 -0000

It would really be great if you could implement virtual
screens, so that you might have v-screen 1 that has
information on cpu, uptime, and load balencing, and
v-screen 2 has information on the network and disks,
for example. lcd4linux would then switch between these
two virtual screens a given number of seconds.

That would make lcd4linux greater than it already is.

being incorporated into laptops, like the Toshiba 5105
