I'm going to give Andre's suggestions a shot and recompile and see how it goes. I'll report back to the list my findings.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 7:46 AM, Andre Guibert de Bruet <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:andy@siliconlandmark.com">andy@siliconlandmark.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hello all,<br>
I recently purchased one of these little guys for eventual use on my alix/pfsense based firewall: <a href="http://www.mini-box.com/PicoLCD-4X20-Sideshow" target="_blank">http://www.mini-box.com/PicoLCD-4X20-Sideshow</a><br>
<br>
I cannot seem to get it to work! I have tried the mini-box provided version of LCDProc, version .5.2 and the latest CVS version, all seem to give the same output:<br>

I am sorry, but the picolcd driver is currently not supported under FreeBSD. So without any additional programming there is no way to get it to work with FreeBSD. In the FreeBSD's port it is therefore disabled and not built by default.<br>
<br>
On your system the driver loads and tries to identify the device. What packages have you installed to get the dependicies satisfied?<br>

Unfortunately the PicoLCD 2X20 and 4X20 devices present themselves as HID devices. I filed PR usb/128803 and attached a patch which quirks the device, so that it doesn't get attached to by the HID driver (Thus making it available to libusb). It can be found at <a href="http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=128803" target="_blank">http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=128803</a> . It would be awesome if this would get committed on CURRENT and possibly MFC'ed... :)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Andy<br>

PS: I have the magic to get the 4X20 working on OSX too, if anyone is interested.<br><font color="#888888">
