[Lcdproc] LCDexec with MtxOrb display

[Michelle Dupuis]

Peter,

I can't see any menu at all (I don't even understand what a server menu is).
It seems like I'm missing something pretty basic.  I've pressed all 7
buttons on my display - but nothing happens.  My LCDd.conf is below, can you
see something I'm missing?

Thanks,
M

LCDexec only shows up in the server's menu.

Pressing Escape (it depends upon the key mapping in the [mtxorb] section
which one of the 6 keys on an MO display is mapped to Escape) should make
the menu show up.

If you do not see a line for lcdexec, simply try the down / up keys to
scroll through the menu entries.

Regards
Peter
