Hello all.

I have uploaded various information at my website that may be of interest:

Below http://www.martinm-76.dk/md8800/LCD I have the following available:
 * lcd-demo.avi - Shows what the display can do. Used my lcdlib.sh to do this. 
Was originally used to give Stefan an idea of what he was dealing with :)

 * lcd-tests.txt - Documents the codes I have found

 * lcddisplay.003.avi - Shows by crude script 'custlcd.sh' in action. This was 
when I only knew that I could echo to the display but hadn't yet found any 
commands.

 * lcdlib.sh - shell library for interfacing with the display. A poor mans 
lcdproc, basically...

 * lcdtest.sh, lcdtest2.sh, lcdtest3.sh - test scripts that might be useful 
for others who need to figure out what their displays can do. Could probably 
do with some more documentation...

 * md8800.avi - Shows off lcdproc running on the MD8800. A few calls through 
lcdlib.sh is thrown in. They work fine together.

 * md8800-lcd.jpg - High-resolution picture of the display with most things 
set.

 * in the chars/ director I have 4 pictures of the character-set from 128-254 
(I added a comma in the first picture and thus 255 didn't fit. It wasn't that 
interesting anyway :))

More generic stuff:

AmaroK lcdproc client (optional extras for MD8800 display):
 * Older version that should work with lcdproc 0.5:
http://www.martinm-76.dk/software/amarok/lcdproc_amarok-1.3.amarokscript.tar.bz2
 * Current version - requires CVS tarball:
http://www.martinm-76.dk/software/amarok/lcdproc_amarok.amarokscript.tar.bz2

The MD8800 bits should be disabled by default.

I will upload the AmaroK client to kde-apps and the like a little later. Any 
feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Should anyone else have a MD8800 I have some other directories with setup 
information that enables all keys on the keyboard and activates the Dual TV 
tuner, amongst other things. Get the big picture here:

If you understand danish I have put up a guide here:

I will be making an English version soon - I just need some sleep 
first ... :-)
