Wow, that a was a quick reply!
I tried 0.50, and got it to work, but the backlight doesn't work for Matrix Orbital 20x4 LCD. I was hoping it would work with 0.4.
It now ran longer and seemed to do more. There are a bunch of *.o files in /drivers. I have no idea what the actual 'drivers' are though.
I don't even know where anything goes. With 0.5, I made a /usr/lib/lcdproc directory and put all the *.so files that were made into it, and then pointed LCDd.conf in /etc to look for them there.
The LCDd.conf for 0.4 says nothing about where to look for the drivers. I have absolutetly no idea where anything goes and am running around in circles!
