Hi all,

I'm new to LCDd and lcdproc and I have some questions:

I have installed lirc_imon for the IMON VFD display and also LCDd on a
Gentoo system. So it works now.

After modprobe lirc_imon and and starting LCDd the display shows the
message:

## LCDProc Server ##
Cli: 0  Scr: 0

First question: I do not want to get this message but my own welcome
message. How to do this? LCDd.conf does not apparently allow to define an
own message (or must I change some sourcecode then?)

Then lcdproc -p 13666 starts the client. I have actually set all Active
switches to false in lcdproc.conf as I do not want to show these messages.
So of course lcdproc -p 13666 T now shows time and date (with some old text
included, the old text has been created by running Windows and seems to be
stored in the display). The LCDd server message is still shown by a display
switch from time to time.

When I e.g. now run lcdproc -p 13666 A then I get in addition to the
time/date display the author message and now I have the switching sequence
of 3 messages: server, time/date and author.

Second question:
I like to display my own texts. It should also be possible to delete the
displayed text, maybe by another text consisting of blank chars only.
How to display texts independant of lcdproc.conf (or how to include them
into this conf file) ? How to clear a text that has been sent to the display
before ?

Please note that I do not know C programming. I only like to use the
display. A function like
lcdproc "Hello world"
would be great.

Thanks

Uli
