Is there a way to show 2 lines as one big one? AFAIK LCDproc supports so-called bignums which are drawn on 4 characters (2x2), the lcdproc client for example can display the clock this way. You might have to add support for it to pylcd first, don't know, but if so and if you're able to do it, please do and talk to the author of pylcd who declared it abandonware, he says he will still apply patches. http://www.schwarzvogel.de/software-pylcd.shtml Lucian --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.

In there there is lcdproc, which has what is called big_clock, if you run (after stopping freevo) lcdproc K you should get a big clock. I get a small clock with big spacing so I am guessing it does not support my display. It says in the source it should look good on a matrix orbital.

BTW, the new homepage is http://graphlcd.berlios.de/. I'm only waiting for Freevo2 to get into a relative stable/usable state (also from architectural point of view, as there have been deep changes lately, as far as I understood). At the moment, that library is actually driving Freevo's LCDproc menu on my graphical VFD ;-) --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the JBoss Inc.
