Hardware: I used a single 4x20 LCD that works with the hd44780 8-bit driver on the printer port. ( availible at http://www.conrad.com/ product ID: 187275 or see http://www.lcd-module.de/eng/doma/standard.htm ) printer port LCD ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GND (1) (used the PC's power supply (black cable)) +5V (2) (used the PC's power supply (red cable)) Vadj (3) (contrast, conneced to GND works fine for me) D0 (2) D0 (7) D1 (3) D1 (8) D2 (4) D2 (9) D3 (5) D3 (10) D4 (6) D4 (11) D5 (7) D5 (12) D6 (8) D6 (13) D7 (9) D7 (14) nSTRB (1) EN (6) INIT (16) RS (4) RW (5) (connected to GND (1) of the LCD) GND (18-25) --- optional for LCDs with background illumination --- LED+ (15) (connected to +5V over a 100 Ohm resisitor to make it not too bright) LED- (16) (connected to GND) Software: Get lcdproc-0.4.1.tar.gz from Sourceforge. LCDd -d HD44780 "-p 0x3bc -c winamp" should run LCDd for the hardware described above conneceted to the printer port (in my case the port's base address is 0x3bc). Bugreports, comments and free beer always welcome :) NEW! You might also be interested in this small toolset (vdronf.tar.gz) that can be used to power on and off a vdr box automatically using wake on lan. This tiny patch (menuitems.c.diff) makes vdr to update changes in the setup menus on the LCD. ( should work for 1.2.x as well as 1.3.x up to 1.3.1 )
