[lcdproc] suggestions for keypad w/ lcdproc?

[Joris Robijn]

> 1)  Anyone have a similar configuration?

Yes, but without a latch. I have working code for 8x5 keys, for the 
4bit connection. I am also working on all the other connection types 
and up to 11x5 keys.

Have code. No thread.

Yes. If you should keep your code out, we can always see later if we 
can integrate some parts into lcdproc.

Ah, watch out, I am doing the same thing :)

Hmm that's queer, it worked perfectly for me. What OS are you using ?

If you want my files let me know (I still have not released them to the 
CVS).
