Sounds to me like you haven't loaded the correct driver for lcdproc. You say it works by sending stuff to /dev/ttyS0 but the HD44780 driver is for the parallel port. Time to RTFM I think... Test by running up LCDd and then lcdproc which should show time-of-day, CPU load and similar stuff. -- Robin Gilks _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
