-- INTRODUCTION --------------------------------------------------------
-- INTRODUCTION --------------------------------------------------------------
LCDproc is a small program that extracts various statistics about your
machine and displays them on an LCD display. It works with several types
and sizes of displays.
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.
Our site is located at http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net/ So check
there first for new versions or updates. We've got a spot on the web
LCDproc also supports key or remote control input for controlling the clients.
