LCDproc is a client server suite including drivers for all kinds of nifty LCD
|
|
|
|
|
devices. The server works with different display sizes and supports several
|
|
|
|
|
serial devices: Matrix Orbital, Crystal Fontz, Bayrad, LB216, LCDM001
|
|
|
|
|
(kernelconcepts.de), Wirz-SLI and PIC-an-LCD; and some devices connected to
|
|
|
|
|
the parallel port: HD44780, STV5730, T6963, SED1520 and SED1330. Various
|
|
|
|
|
clients are available that display things like CPU load, system load, memory
|
|
|
|
|
usage, uptime, and a lot more.
