Hi Peter,

thank you that cool diff was more that I am expected :-).

Yes, I am impatient. I tried it and ...

1. compile failed (missing comma, see vdr-wakeup-changes.diff)
2.  <syslog> Jan 19 22:51:01 jukebox2 LCDd: hd44780: unknown ConnectionType=
:=20
vdr-wakeup <syslog>, changes see vdr-wakup-changes.diff
3. success!

The test details are:
I got a fine LCDproc Server screen including hartbeat.=20

Next I tried "lcdproc M". The following screens looked fine (time, cpu, net=
=20
load, hd usage, server name). But every time the next (lcdproc server=20
screen?!) is displayed the backlight is tured off!

My LCDd.conf has "Backligth=3Dno"

The backligth of my LCD40x2 is attached to the wake-up board relais as=20
recommended. This relais is swichable with a programmed IR signal. In=20
addition the relais is supposed to be swichable via LCDproc...

The next screen is somehow "messy", i.e. it shows a mixture of different=20
screens (lcdproc server parts and the server name). I considder this as bei=
ng=20
ment with the limitation "no full redraw support".

Regards


Bernd
