Hi,
i have a Firewall box with an integrated LCD runnung on freeBSD.=20=
The LCD ist connected via a parallel port (0x0378) and seem to ha=
ve the hd44780 controller.
I was able to start LCDproc and tried every parallel driver and s=
etting without luck. I have a running sample application which is=
running fine.
This is the only information on the wiring from the manual :

.0;attach=3D1220;image
I can provide the c source (very simple demo app) for the sample=20=
application which is running fine.
Who can help to make a driver for this popular firewall hardware.=
