---   LCD4Linux News   ---



lcd4linux-0.98

- improved signal-handling: lcd4linux can be restarted by sendig a SIGHUP

- lcd4linux uses syslog for messages/warnings etc.

- support for GPO's (general purpose outputs, e.g. to connect a LED)
  The MatroxOrbital Displays have one GPO, and you can connect up to eight
  LED's to the parallel port using two IC's (see README.HD44780.GPO)

- new delay loop for parallel port displays: uses either gettimeofday() or
  rdtsc (time stamp counter on newer processors). This delay needs no longer
  a calibration! The 'Delay'-entry in lcd4linux.conf has gone.

- new raster driver for PNG creation

- new curses-based text driver

- security: lcd4linux.conf must have the same user/group than the executable, 
  and must not me accesible by group and other (i.e. mode 0600). This is 
  necessary because lcd4linux.conf can contain usernames and passwords for 
  POP and IMAP queries.

- support for plugins: new token 'x1'..'x9' for externel programs

- new token 'ic' (ISDN connected/offline, mainly for a LED connected to a GPO)

- APM client: new tokens 'bp', 'bs', 'bd' (battery percentage, status and 
  duration)

- mail client: new tokens 'e1'..'e9' for counting emails in local mailboxes

- new configure-options '--with-drivers=<list>', so you can compile a minimal
  executable which contains only the drivers you need.

- seti@home client: new tokens 'hc' (% completed) and 'ht' (cpu time needed)

- simple web-server driver (see README.Webinterface)

- uses new (kernel 2.4) ppdev system to access parallel port via ioctl()

- mail suport for pop3 and imap4, token 'u1' ..'u9' show unseen mail
  (which is propably incorrect for normal mbox)

- added another verbose level (-vvv) for debugging socket traffic

- added nntp support for count of news/unread messages in subscribed NGs

- implemented time series bar '$t'

Agila 2 was moved in late 2011 to 3 West, renamed to ABS-3 [0]. The
transponder frequencies are no match for the ABS-3 so lets just
remove it.

The Amazonas 3 replaced the Amazonas 1 in 2012 as can be seen at [0].
Lets rename it accordingly. Further more, many of the transponders
have been dropped so remove those as well.

ABS-1 appears to have replaced ABS-2 according to [0].
Lets rename it to reflect it's current name.

Atlantic Bird 1 was renamed to Eutelsat 12 West A in 2012 and moved from
12 to 36 degree's in 2016 and was thus not accurate anymore. In 2018 it
was repositioned to 59 east and renamed to Eutelsat 59A as can be seen
at [0]. So far there are no active transponders.

Atlantic-Bird-3-5.0W - Ku Band

Hello,

The latest update for the file Atlantic-Bird-3-5.0W (Ku Band) is 2015-03-28:
https://git.linuxtv.org/dtv-scan-tables.git/log/dvb-s/Atlantic-Bird-3-5.0W
but since March 2015 there are a lot of changes in the tranponders list.
And now, a lot of transponders for Algerian, French and Italian TV and
Radio channels are missing.
Attached is an updated config scan file (Atlantic-Bird-3-5.0W.patch
file) for Atlantic-Bird-3-5.0W transponders in dvbv5 format.
Could you please ensure that this new patch is committed into the DVB
source code tree repositery?
PS : Attached there is also the full up to date file :
Atlantic-Bird-3-5.0W-2017-01-09.NEW.FULL if you need it

Thank you

Best regards

Ziggo and UPC had merged, but the initial UPC transponder is still the correct one for former UPC customers.
