thanks for the URL, seems to be a cool project.
0.4-pre9 supports LCDs with a hd44780 controller
on the printer port. however, after checking the data sheets
of the LCD and comparing it to the way lcdproc-0.4-pre9
wants the LCD connected to the printer port I'm not very
happy because it looks a bit dangerous to me.
(D0-D7 on the hd44780 can be switched with RW for input
or output, while a standard printer port only does
output on the 8bit data line. connecting the LCD to
the printer port without making sure that the hd44780
is always in input mode might be a risk ...)
well, I'll wait till my ordered LCD comes and will then
decide what I'll do with it :)
