Request Futaba dm-140gink VFD driver

Anonymous — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 11:36:59 -0000

Hi,
I have read the request about this driver and maybe you could use the mediaportal code.
Mediaportal has this driver and is 100% functional and the code is GNU
The code is here: http://sources.team-mediaportal.com/websvn/listing.php?repname=MediaPortal&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fmediaportal%2FMiniDisplayLibrary%2F#_trunk_mediaportal_MiniDisplayLibrary_ (MiniDisplayLibrary/MiniDisplayPlugin/Drivers/DM140GINK.cs)

Is it possible to use it?

Thanks

Watchdog timer patch for Crystalfontz Packet LCDs

Rob Emanuele — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:41:46 -0000

I've written a patch that we're using on our Linux servers to use the watchdog timer on the CF-633 displays (it also works on the 635 and 631).

This patch adds a configuration option to the CFontzPacket driver called "Watchdog" which is a value, 0-255 seconds, that represents how long until the watchdog will timeout. For those modules configured for ATX power switch use, they will reset the host system if the watchdog isn't reset or disabled before the timeout.

Hi,
do You plan to include M50530 controler?
It is very similar to HD44780, only differnet
handshake and pinlayout.
It supports 8x24 characters!
lcd4linux works with it, but my application
only uses lcdproc!
Thanks

java

Christopher Hart — Wed, 16 Feb 2005 03:20:47 -0000

It would be nice to have a java display, primarily to
include on web pages. I feel that this would be very
useful for some projects, where the goal is to display
information at multiple locations, possibly to the
general public. I realize that this most likely would
need to be implemented in parts, one in LCDd, and a
seperate java file to go on the web that would retrieve
the display information from LCDd.

Socket receive buffer too small

Dave LeBlanc — Sun, 09 Mar 2003 18:30:55 -0000

When sending large amounts of data (from a modified
version of xmmslcd which outputs > 16 vbars) lcdproc
overuns it's receive buffer (MAXMSG in server/sock.c).

Simply doubling this value (from 8k to 16k) has alleviated
the problem for me, but I see no reason not to have a
buffer 64k big for systems which may buffer this much
data.

In addition, this allows the server to poll at much higher
speeds (TIME_UNIT lowered in server/main.h) without
overflowing this same buffer.

T6963C Controller

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Jan 2002 20:33:14 -0000

Please, can't you add a support for graphic-lcds with
t6963C controller?? I reeeaaally need it, just the
text feature is enough for start. It shouldn't be so
hard to do it becouse t6963c has an own
character "memory"; I mean not so hard to those who
has abitility to code. =)

On-screen display

Marty Alchin — Wed, 15 Aug 2001 15:33:41 -0000

I'm considering buying an LCD module for my PC, but I'd like to know if I'd get the use out of it to
make it worth the money. Would it be possible to emulate the LCD screen on the screen, so I can
see exactly how it will work in real operation before I shell out the cash for a display?
