Hi,

Thanks to Edd's patch I was able to compile lcdproc on OpenBSD 5.0 amd64 with the following configure parameters:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/lcdproc --enable-drivers=hd44780 --disable-ethlcd


I have then configured LCDd.conf for a hd44780 by modifying the following configuration options:

[server]
DriverPath=lib/lcdproc/
Driver=hd44780


but unfortunately when running LCDd I get the following error message:

hd44780: cannot get IO-permission for 0x378: No such file or directory
Driver [hd44780] init failed, return code -1
Could not load driver hd44780
There is no output driver
Critical error while initializing, abort.


I also tried changing the Port=0x378 to Port=/dev/lpt0 but that didn't change anything. Any idea what might be wrong here?

Regards,
ML
