Re: [Bug 225594] Re: iMon VFD does not work in 8.04
I have managed to get Lcdproc to work nowdays for imon. The same driver is used for two different displays technologies (was it lcd and vfd or something similar), and at some point you had to manually tell which technology you actually have. I would imagine that based on usbid it would be rather easy to make this detection automatic.

Actually, I no longer have that case with the VFD display, so couldn't comment on how well it works currently...

[Bug 225594] Re: iMon VFD does not work in 8.04
I have a Silverstone LC20 case with the VFD display and I found this fix that worked for me and points to the problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765462 The default now for the lirc_imon module is for LCD displays (not VFD). Adding the following to /etc/modprobe.d/options and it solved my problem: options lirc_imon islcd=0 -- iMon VFD does not work in 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 225594] Re: iMon VFD does not work in 8.04
I can confirm the problem. Same thing here with a similar setup. I described the problem before at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lcdproc/+bug/194093 Though I'm not sure, if it really caused 100% CPU usage. This bug-report here is probably more accurate. -- iMon VFD does not work in 8.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/225594 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
