0) Do you have anything on the screen in linux?
- lines or dots...
- Do you get the LCDproc Screen
0 Clients 0 screens
If not, your not connecting (LCDd + Display)
Just some thoughts
1) Which distro I'm running on FC4 which requires some file copies
- LCDd.conf --> /etc/LCDd.conf
+ the init.d files
2) When you do LCDd -h do you see the HD44780 driver as being
available.
- LCDproc installed in usr/local/
- Had to compile directly the driver
3) If you get garbled display ... Play with the cable, my printerport
is not powerful
enough and had to be set properly.
Is printer port turned on? (Mine wasn't the first time)
4) Did you edit LCDd.conf (Specifically the hd44780 section)
- Connection type: Winamp
- This was done by trial and error for me.
5) Did you set mythtv then reboot.
HtH...

Thanks for yourt help. I was compiling in the wrong directory, I also
changed the settings to winamp wiring and then copied the LCDd.conf file to
/etc/. I also changed the user from nobody to mythtv. I started the program
and my VFD lit up. I got to see the "servers=0 screens=0" screen, so I
started MythTV, and it started showing the proper info. "Woo-Hoo! -- I woke
up my wife." Well after that I rebooted the system and while it was powering
down, I got the message "Thanks for using LCDproc and Linux!" but that
screen survived the reboot and LCDproc didn't start when the system came
back up. How do I get it to start up automaticaly?
