Description-en: LCD display driver daemon and clients
Lcdproc is a client/server suite including drivers for all kinds of
nifty LCD displays. The server supports several serial devices: Matrix
Orbital, Crystal Fontz, Bayrad, LB216, LCDM001 (kernelconcepts.de),
Wirz-SLI and PIC-an-LCD; and some devices connected to the LPT port:
HD44780, STV5730, T6963, SED1520 and SED1330.
.
Various clients are available that display things like CPU load, system
load, memory usage, uptime, and a lot more. Custom clients can be
written using the simple client-server protocol and provided example
code.
.
This package contains the LCD drivers which need no extra libraries to
run. In the lcdproc-extra-drivers package some USB and VGA on-screen
displays are also supported.
