I must be overlooking info. I have 2 Noritake CU20045SCPB dispays each using the HD44780 chip. I have them both wired winamp style. the EN(pin 6) for display #1 to pin 1 on parport (nSTRB). The EN for display 2 to pin 17 (nSEL) on parport.Displa #1 displays all 4 rows nicely, but nothing on display #2. I switched the EN lines and the display wired to nSTRB displays nicely. Yet when I stop LCDd "Thanks for using" appears on line four if display #1 and "LCDproc &" on line #1 of display #2 and "Linux !" on line 2 of display #2. is there a way to set up LCDproc to use all eight lines. I have 'vspan 4,4' and 'size=20x8' is there something I've missed that would enable both displays to show the data? -- Ted Ozolins Cranbrook, BC
