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".

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