---   LCD4Linux News   ---



lcd4linux-0.98

- improved signal-handling: lcd4linux can be restarted by sending 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'

Hi Oliver

While you're in the renaming mood, 'ch-Zuerich-cablecom' could also be
renamed to 'ch-Zuerich-upc-cablecom' with the following content
(according to the cablcom's website, the tuning data still seems to be
correct):
# upc cablecom
# Zurich, Switzerland
# freq sr fec mod
C 410000000 6900000 NONE QAM64

So, and now I stop bothering you ;)

Cheers and thanks again for your work!
Christian

The Frequency for NL has changed recently. Anything above channel 60
is no longer allowed and thus has been removed. Also some other changes
due to the destruction and rebuilding of 'Hoogersmilde'.

Reported by Geert Hedde Bosman &lt;geert.hedde.bosman@gmail.com&gt;

Hello,
in summer 2012 in the Netherlands major frequency changes took place in DVB-t broadcast. Some new
frequencies were added as well. Therefore the frequency-file dvb/dvb-t/nl-All is no longer
actual. Could someone (i believe Cristoph P. is one of the maintainers) please update this file?
The website http://radio-tv-nederland.nl/ provides an up to date frequency list.
As an example: i had to add the following line to the file 'nl-All' to get the FTA tv-stations in
the north of the Netherlands as it was missing:
T 674000000 8MHz 1/2 NONE QAM64 8k 1/4 NONE

regards
GHB
