Whebn I added the tyan driver to LCDproc I found nobody with the hardware
so that I was not sure whether the driver works correctly.

If you are willing to help we can improve the driver together.

I have added debugging output to the tyan driver in CVS HEAD.
It will be in tonight's nightly tarball 		 
  http://lcdproc.sourceforge.net/nightly/lcdproc-CVS-current.tar.gz

Please try it running the LCDd daemon with report level 5, reporting set 
stdout/stderr and the output redirected to a file:
	LCDd -r 5 -s 0 -f 1 > LCDd.log 2>&1

With this configuration it should write a line of the form
	tyan: get_key(): raw key code: 0x??
for every key pressed on LCD. For untreated keys it should log a line of the 
form
	tyan: Untreated key 0x??

Would you mind to test and send me the mappings 
	key pressed  - raw key code

Maybe your LCD has a different mapping.

After this is done I'd like to improve the driver a bit more:
- vertical and horizontal bars
- big numbers

For all this I need a tester.
Are you willing to help ?

Peter
