* Doesn't update the display unnecessarily - now has "memory" and won't
update if the display hasn't changed
* Debugging code: logs to syslog for everything if debug_level is set
high enough.
sense) of functions to be used by drivers. Things like freeing a
framebuffer, creating a frame buffer, andding characters or strings
to a framebuffer, et al, are here...
* Fixed up help screen to reflect added options
* Added -u option and User directive to configuration file
* Massaged help output to keep it under 24 lines
(one typical screenful).
* Removed some unused code.
* Options override all configuration file settings
* In absence of configuration file settings or option settings,
defaults are used
* Added new global settings: Port, Bind, Wait, WaitTime, Debug
* Added more documentation to LCDd.conf
up with more than 80 characters (20x4) in their display, and thus
overwrite memory outside of the allocated 80 characterwframebuffer.
For example, using a 20x6 screen would do this.
All drivers now either ignore a missing framebuffer, or allocate it
themselves - the latter is prefered.
(for type: 20x2, 20x4, 20x6) etc.
* Fixed bug that appeared when using a size larger than 80 characters
(20x4): framebuffer was allocated before size was known!
Drivers should NOT look for framebuffer to be allocated before they
start - but 80 characters are there anyway (for now).
got it working (it's #ifdef'd out). Expanded flexibility of
-t option (now accepts any case, and looks at only first three
characters); so "-t lkd202-25" works as expected...
* Now supports multiple input sources
* Further compartmentalized
* Added function to list drivers in nice format (for help screen)
* More bulletproofing
* Now supports the use of the new "daemonize" variable in the
lcd_logical_driver structure: permits output drivers to specify whether
becoming a daemon is logical or not... if not, run in foreground...
* Removed all references to lcd.* (now uses sli->*)
* Removed all function pointers of NULL or (void *) -1
* Added base functions as necessary
Compiles cleanly; requires field testing.
however, the Makefiles will need to be modified to support
linking against libvga and libvgagl, and support for the SVGALIB_DRV
define will have to be added to autoconf or whatever.
* Uses syslog instead of printf or fprintf (except during init)
* Replaced sprintf with snprintf throughout
* Removed all references to lcd.* and replaced with CFontz->*
Note: this compiles, that's all I can say - but the changes are not
major structural or logical changes.
* Heavily commented options
* Fixed bug introduced into default_duration and -w (my fault)
* Defined configuration file string defaults (no processing yet)
* Added simple optimization to option processing
* Reformed some comments for easier readability
* Fixed bug that caused program not to drop root privs when
running on port under 1024
* Converted further to use syslog instead of printf
+ Convert to use syslog instead of printf
+ Fixed some memory allocation bugs: in particular, driver
is only a local variable! Use static variable debug_drv instead....
