-This is the README file for lcd4linux
-
-
-INTRODUCTION 
-
-lcd4linux is a small program that reads various information from the kernel
-(and from other subsystems, especially ISDN) and displays them on a LCD or
-other display device.
-
-It supports displaying text values and different types of bars: Horizontal and
-vertical bars, logarithmic bars, split bars (two independent bars in one row).
-
-
-USAGE
-
-lcd4linux -h  
-  print version number and a small help text, then exit
-
-lcd4linux -l 
-  list available drivers
-
-#ifdef USE_OLD_UDELAY
-lcd4linux -d
-  calibrate delay loop (necessary for some drivers)
-#endif
-
-lcd4linux [-c key=val] [-F] [-f config-file] [-o output] [-q] [-v]
-  run lcd4linux 
-  overwrite entries from the config-file with '-c'
-  do not fork and detach with '-F'
-  use configuration from 'config-file' instead of /etc/lcd4linux.conf
-  write picture to 'output' (raster driver only)
-  suppress startup splash screen with '-q'
-  generate info messages with '-v'
-  generate debugging messages with '-vv'
-  debug socket traffic too, with '-vvv'
-  
-  
-DIAGNOSTICS
-
-  lcd4linux on foreground writes (depending on level) to stdout or stderr.
-  The Text-Driver has ist's own diagnostics window.
-  
-  Started in the background (the default), lcd4linux uses your syslog daemon
-  for logging. Facility is USER, levels are ERR, INFO and DEBUG.

-SUPPORTED DISPLAYS
-
-* Matrox Orbital: <http://www.matrixorbital.com>
-	
-  "LCD0821": 2 lines by  8 characters
-  "LCD1621": 2 lines by 16 characters
-  "LCD2021": 2 lines by 20 characters
-  "LCD2041": 4 lines by 20 characters (tested)

-
-
-* CrystalFontz <http://www.crystalfontz.com>
-
-  any of 626, 632, 634 and 636.
-
-
-* HD44780-based displays
-
-  This driver supports display modules based on the Hitachi HD44780 chip,
-  connected to a parallel port. These displays are made by different 
-  manufactures, and come in various sizes.
-
-* Beckmann+Egle mini-terminal
-
-  thanks to Helmut A. Bender <hab@arcanum.inka.de>
-
-
-* Mitsubishi M50530
-
-  I got a real cool display (8 lines by 24 characters!) from 
-  Udo Altmann (udo.altmann@web.de) Thanks again!
-  Unfortunately, the driver is not finished yet.
-
-
-* Toshiba T6963
-
-  I got another real cool display (240x128 pixel!) from 
-  Carsten Nau (info@cnau.de). Thanks again!
-  Unfortunately, the driver is not finished yet.
-
-
-* PalmOrb
-
-  I was told that lcd4linux works fine with PalmOrb, a small program that 
-  emulates a Matrox Orbital display on the Palm Pilot.
-
-
-* X11
-  thanks to Herbert Rosmanith <herp@wildsau.idv.uni-linz.ac.at> a driver
-  for the X Window System is available. It supports any size at any
-  resolution. A very small XLCD4Linux-Window can even swallow on the KDE
-  Panel!
-
-
-* Raster formats:
-  a generic raster driver (which is used by the X11-driver, too) is availiable,
-  it supports:
-     PPM (portable pixmap)
-     PNG (with libgd)
-
-* Text:
-  This is a ncurses based text driver, mainly intended for debugging.
-
-* other displays: lcd4linux and especially the display driver code is very
-  modular, so it should be quite easy to write a driver for any display. See
-  README.driver for details. Contributors are welcome!!!
-
-
-CONFIGURATION
-
-The configuration file (default: /etc/lcd4linux.conf) has a very simple
-format: Every line consists of a key and a value, seperated by whitespace
-(blanks or tabs). Values can contain whitespace, and can be enclosed in
-single or double quotes. A key must not contain whitespace. Keys are NOT
-case-sensitive. Order doesn't matter. Empty lines and all text on a line
-after a '#' will be ignored. If you want to use '#' in a value (think of
-X11-colors), you have to quote it with a backslash.
-
-NOTE:
-
-Because of security reasons the config file is assured to be:
-   * - file is a normal file (or /dev/null)
-   * - file owner is owner of program
-   * - file is not accessible by group
-   * - file is not accessible by other
-   
-So if you run lcd4linux as root, /etc/lcd4linux has to be:
-  chmod 600
-  chown root.root
-
-
-The configuration file contains information for different modules of
-lcd4linux:
-
-Global options:
-
-  tick: time in milliseconds between bar updates
-  tack: time in milliseconds between text updates (text can be updated less 
-        often than bars, so you get a smooth bar display and readable text)
-  tau:  time constant (in milliseconds) for damping function (not used by now)
-
-Data-specific options:
-
-  overload: load average threshold and bar scaling. The '%L' token (see below)
-            displays a '!' instead of a blank if the current load average 
-	    exceeds this value. 
-            load bars are scaled by this value (load=overload gives 100%)
-  sensor1: path to the 1st temperature file 
-           (e.g. /proc/sys/dev/sensors/w83781d-isa-0290/temp1)
-           it is important that you use the isa sensors, because the i2c 
-	   sensors are very slow!
-  sensor1_min: temperature where the corresponding bar starts
-  sensor1_max: temperature where bar ends
-  sensor[2..9], -_min, -_max: entries for the 2nd to 9th temperature sensor
-  
-  exec:
-     x1 ... x9: command to execute, PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
-                $X1 ... $X8 is result of command 1..8 in environment
-     Tick_x1 .. 9 delay in ticks (overrides delay_x)
-     Delay_x1 ..9 delay in seconds (default 1)
-     Max_x1 ..9 max value for bars (default 100)
-     Min_x1 ..9 min value for bars (default 0)
-     
-  battery: Battwarning 10 (default 10)
-  
-  Mailbox:
-     The option string may be a plain mbox file or a pop3/imap4/nntp server
-     string with the following format:
-     
-       pop3:[user[:pass]@]machine[:port]
-       imap4:[user[:pass]@]machine[:port][/dir]
-       nntp:[user[:pass]@]machine[:port][/dir]
-       
-     Port defaults to 110 and 143 respectively.
-     If /dir is not given, INBOX is assumed.
-     If dir is given for nntp: it should be a valid group name
-       with '.' separating items
-     If dir is not given for nntp: all/unread news of subscribed groups
-     from Newsrc are calcualted.
-       
-     Delay_e1..e9 delay in seconds for querying the MailboxN (default 5)  
-     Newsrc ... path/name of your .newsrc file containing subscribed news
-     
-     Note: authorization on newsservers is untested.
-     Note: user and pass may not contain a '/' with above syntax, I hope
-           that's ok.
-   
-  SetiDir: directory where seti@home stores its data files
-
- 
-Driver-specific options:
-  
-  Display: the name of a display model (see "supported displays" above)
-  every driver has its own configuration options (e.g. 'Port', 'Speed', ...)
-  see README.<Drivername> for details!
-  
-  
-Display options:
-  
-  row1: Text to display in row 1
-  row[2-max]: Text to display in other rows
-
-  The text to be displayed can contain specific directives, which will be
-  replaced by the appropriate values, or will create bars:
-
-  '\nnn` will write the ASCII-character nnn (octal)
-  '%<token>' will be replaced by the value of <token>
-  '%%' will write a '%'
-  '%$' will write a '$'
-
-  '$<direction><length><token>[+<token>] will create a bar with the
-  specified direction and length (in characters) with the value of <token>.
-  If the driver supports dual bars, you can specify the second value with
-  '+<token>'. <direction> can be 'l' (left), 'r' (right), 'u' (up) or 'd'
-  (down). If you specify the direction in upper case, a logarithmic bar will
-  be created. note that the space occupied by a bar always grows from left
-  to right or from top to bottom, regardless of the direction!
-  
-  '$t<height><token>,<width> will create a time series bar. The data are 
-  displayed like '$u', but are shifted every second 1 pixel to the 
-  left. Currently only displays based on the pixel-driver support this 
-  bar type.
