+Dear lcdproc community,
+
+I've added support for the LEDs on the Pyramid LC-Display to the
+pylcd driver of lcdproc. 
+
+Since it seems that LEDs on an LCD are not directly supported by the
+lcdproc API I've used the "output" command of the server to trigger the
+LEDs, similar to what the IOWarrior driver does.
+
+The Pyramid LC-Display exists in two different versions, with 3 and with
+9 LEDs. 2 of these LEDs can not be controlled by software but are
+usually hard wired to power and HDD. The other 1 or 7 LEDs can now be
+controlled by sending an "output" command to the server. The one
+argument to the output command is a bitmask that controls the LEDs.
+
+bit 0: LED3
+bit 1: LED4
+bit 2: LED5
+bit 3: LED6
+bit 4: LED7
+bit 5: LED8
+bit 6: LED9
+
+There's no way of finding out whether 3 or 9 LEDs are available, so it
+is up to the software to do the right thing. 
+
+Example:
+
+telnet localhost 13666
+hello
+output 67
+
+will light up LEDs 3, 4 and 9.
+
+output 0
+
+will clear all LEDs.
+
+More information on the Pyramid LC-Display can be found here:
+http://www.pyramid.de/e/produkte/server/pyramid-lcd.php
+
+Please apply attached patch to the lcdproc CVS. 
+
+Any comments are welcome. 
+
+  Regards,
+        Stefan Reinauer
