This section talks about using LCDproc with LCD displays that use the
|
||||||
|
T6963 chipset. Usually, this chipset is used on big character LCD
|
||||||
|
displays that can often act as a screen.

Make sure that the T6963 files are built when you run configure. This
|

|
can be done by specifying "--enable-drivers=all" or by
|
||||||
|
"--enable-drivers=t6963".

Since LCDproc 0.4.3 the T6963 driver must be configured from the configfile (LCDd.conf).

At the time of writing, the T6369 driver uses the Arguments option for its
|
||||||
|
configuration. This will be parsed as if is was passed as argument to a program.

Modify the LCDd.conf file before you run LCDd. In this config file are
|
||||||
|
detailed instructions on how to configure the T6963 driver.
|
||||||
|
</para>
|

|
|

|

Then as usual, start LCDd with the correct config file:
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
E.g. <command>LCDd -c ./LCDd.conf</command>
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
If you want to override the driver selection in LCDd.conf then use:
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
<command>LCDd -c ./LCDd.conf -d T6963</command>
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
If you use this, the T6963 driver will read the options from the config
|
||||||
|
file anyway.
