Gaps can have a size of -1, which means that they use the size of a pixel. This is the first release with a driver for the X Window System. The X11-Driver look great, needs only very low cpu time and bandwidth. There's also a raster driver which produces PPM output. LCD4Linux does not use predefined screens, you can individually design the layout instead.
Bars can be linear or logarithmic .
HD44780 displays Nearly all cheap displays that are connected to the parallel port are based on the Hitachi HD44780 chip, and should work with this driver. I was told that LCD4Linux works fine with PalmOrb, a program that emulates a MatroxOrbital Display on the PalmPilot. Due to the modular driver concept of LCD4Linux, it should be very easy to support other displays. If you have an unsupported display, know a bit of programming in C, have some spare time and want to read your name here, just drop me an email . You can also visit the SourceForge Project Page .
