This section talks about using LCDproc with LCD displays that use the
6
T6963 chipset. Usually, this chipset is used on big character LCD
7
displays that can often act as a screen.

Make sure that the T6963 files are built when you run configure. This
62
can be done by specifying "--enable-drivers=all" or by
63
"--enable-drivers=t6963".

<title>Configuration</title>
72
Since LCDproc 0.4.3 the T6963 driver must be configured from the configfile (LCDd.conf).
76
At the time of writing, the T6369 driver uses the Arguments option for its
77
configuration. This will be parsed as if is was passed as argument to a program.

An example configuration could look like this: Arguments="--port 0x378 --type=20x6"

Modify the LCDd.conf file before you run LCDd. In this config file are
111
detailed instructions on how to configure the T6963 driver.
115
Then as usual, start LCDd with the correct config file:
118
E.g. <command>LCDd -c ./LCDd.conf</command>
121
If you want to override the driver selection in LCDd.conf then use:
124
<command>LCDd -c ./LCDd.conf -d T6963</command>
127
If you use this, the T6963 driver will read the options from the config
