Text (Curses) driver

The Text driver uses curses for display, and is mainly used for debugging purposes.

Of course, lcd4linux should be started in the foreground (-F) with this driver.

The driver shows also a window with lcd4linux's diagnostics. In this window CR and LF are displayed as underscores.

LCD4Linux and the curses driver

BUGS:

  • A resize of the term window messes up the display.
  • Vertical bars are not supported.
  • BAR_L is ignored.

Configuration:

The driver needs/supports the following entries in lcd4linux.conf:

Display: "Text"
Size: [columns]x[rows], e.g. "20x4"
TextBar?: if set to "1", Bars display the values max, len1 and len2.
