lcdproc folks,

attached is a patch to simply add to the LCDd.conf file a comment 
indicating that HD66712 is an hd44780 w/ extended_mode=YES, just to help 
make it clearer for folks.

thank you Marcus, for catching that my patch was a copy of logic that 
already existed!

Hello All,

*giggle*.

Thats it. ExtendedMode=yes works perfectly. I also didnt
notice this line. Sorry for driving you all crazy, esp.
Andrew... ;) But lots of thanks for your great support.

Okay, i can 100% confirm this display work with lcdproc.

NICE!!! =)

Andreas

Andreas,

Markus is right on, it looks like my patch may be unnecessary after all.

Please try the straight 0.5.0 release w/ the "ExtendedMode=Yes" by
removing the "#" sign for this option in the [hd44780] section.

# If you have a KS0073 or an other 'almost HD44780-compatible', set this
# flag to get into extended mode (4-line linear).
# This flag is NOT the old obsolete Extended option.
#ExtendedMode=yes

I didn't even notice the above line, when we did this, it looks like
extended mode is exactly it and already there!

andrew
