[mythtv-users] Silverstone LM14M Case with VFD and Linux driver

[Bob Sully]

Hi all -

Got everything installed, box is up and running, lircd-0.8.1 installed and
running, amd lcdproc compiled and installed. I can send stuff to the VFD
by doing this:

echo Hello > /dev/lcd

However, I think I am trying to use the wrong driver with lcdproc, because
the LCDd daemon doesn't load.  I tried compiling lcdproc with the hd44780
driver (which the LC03x cases use), but I think that's the wrong one,
because it uses a parallel port, and this case's VFD uses a USB port.

Anyone who has this working, could you post a copy of your LCDd.conf file?
 It should be the same for the LC14M and LC16M.

Thanks in advance!
Bob
