This is the README file for the X11 display driver for lcd4linux
|
|
|
|
The driver opens a X11 window based on the geometry specified in the
|
|
config file. This window cannot be resized. The contents of the window
|
|
will be redrawn every 'tick' msec.
|
|
|
|
The driver uses very low cpu time, and requires low bandwitdh, because
|
|
only modified pixels are redrawn.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Configuration:
|
|
|
|
The driver needs/supports the following entries in lcd4linux.conf:
|
|
|
|
Display: must be "X11"
|
|
size: [columns]x[rows], e.g. "20x4"
|
|
font: [xrex]x[yres], at the moment only "5x8" and "6x8" supported.
|
|
pixel: [pixelsize]+[pixelgap], e.g. "5+1"
|
|
gap: [row gap]x[column gap], e.g. "3x3"
|
|
border: border width
|
|
foreground: color of an active LCD Pixel, must be #rrggbb
|
|
halfground: color of an inactive LCD Pixel, must be #rrggbb
|
|
background: backlight color, must be #rrggbb
|
|
|
|
This may look weird, but it is weird. Let's explain this a bit further:
|
|
The X11 driver tries to emulate a real LC display. A real LCD has a
|
|
size of columns*rows characters. Each character consists of xres*yres
|
|
LCD cells. One single cell will be represented by a rectangle of
|
|
pixelsize*pixelsize pixels. If you want to, you can emulate the gap
|
|
between this lcd cells by specifying a pixelgap greater than zero.
|
|
Sometimes there's a gap between characters, too. You can specify this
|
|
gap (in pixels again) horizontally and vertically. Usually this gap
|
|
is the same size as a cell (which is pixelsize+pixelgap). If you specify
|
|
either the row gap or the column gap as -1, this cell size will be used
|
|
instead.
|
|
|
|
If you use a font of 5x8, some characters may use the first and the last
|
|
pixel. So you should specify a column gap, otherwise the caracters may
|
|
touch. On the other hand, the 6x8 font never uses the first pixel. So you
|
|
can omit the column gap, and will get the same text layout, but
|
|
uninterupted bars!
|
|
|
|
After all: don't try to understand this unless you have tried it out!
