5.2. The Toshiba T6963 Driver
This section talks about using LCDproc with LCD displays that use the T6963 chipset. Usually, this chipset is used on big character LCD displays that can often act as a screen.
5.2.2. Compiling
Make sure that the T6963 files are built when you run configure. This can be done by specifying "--enable-drivers=all" or by "--enable-drivers=t6963".
5.2.3. Configuration
Since LCDproc 0.4.3 the T6963 driver must be configured from the configfile (LCDd.conf).
At the time of writing, the T6369 driver uses the Arguments option for its configuration. This will be parsed as if is was passed as argument to a program.
Table 5-8. Arguments
| -p --port | Select the output port to use [0x378] |
|---|---|
| -t --type | Select the LCD type (size) [20x6] |
 | An example configuration could look like this: Arguments="--port 0x378 --type=20x6" |
5.2.4. Running
Modify the LCDd.conf file before you run LCDd. In this config file are detailed instructions on how to configure the T6963 driver.
Then as usual, start LCDd with the correct config file:
E.g. LCDd -c ./LCDd.conf
If you want to override the driver selection in LCDd.conf then use:
LCDd -c ./LCDd.conf -d T6963
If you use this, the T6963 driver will read the options from the config file anyway.
