[mythtv-users] LCDproc version for Myth 18.1 ?

[Peter Kornhuld]

Hello,

I'm running the same versions of Myth and lcdproc... and it works fine. But I 
also had a flickering of the Backlight.
I found this patch against lcdproc 0.4.5:

        portControl |= backlight_bit;

        if (displayID == 0)
-            enableLines = EnMask[0] | EnMask[1] | ((extIF) ? EnMask[2] : 0);
+           enableLines = EnMask[0]
+                           | ((have_backlight) ? 0 : EnMask[1])
+                           | ((extIF) ? EnMask[2] : 0);
        else
                enableLines = EnMask[displayID - 1];


You said the Display shows nothing?
Is the LCDd working? Try it with 
"lcdproc C M"
that should show you some informations about your CPU and Memory. 

If that works:
- Did you checked the boxes in "Settings/Konfiguration/"LookAndFeel"/Use 
LCD-Display"  in Mythfrontend? (Sorry, i'm at work, so i don't know exactly 
how the Menu is called)?

I installed from RPM... perhaps some options like "--enable-lcd" are required 
for compilation.


Greetings
 Peter

P.S. If it works... do you mind reporting me what the Display shows in 
"Mythmusic"?
