AutoRotate¶

If set to no, LCDd will start with screen rotation disabled. This has the same effect as if the ToggleRotateKey had been pressed. Rotation will start if the ToggleRotateKey is pressed. Note that this setting does not turn off priority sorting of screens. Optional. Type boolean.

upstream_default value :

on

Backlight¶

Set master backlight setting. If set to 'open' a client may control the backlight for its own screens (only). Optional. Type enum. choice: 'off', 'open', 'on'.

upstream_default value :

open

Bind¶

Tells the driver to bind to the given interface. Optional. Type uniline.

upstream_default value :

127.0.0.1

Driver¶

Tells the server to load the given drivers. Multiple lines can be given. The name of the driver is case sensitive and determines the section where to look for further configuration options of the specific driver as well as the name of the dynamic driver module to load at runtime. The latter one can be changed by giving a File= directive in the driver specific section.

The following drivers are supported:
bayrad, CFontz, CFontzPacket, curses, CwLnx, ea65, EyeboxOne, futaba,
g15, glcd, glcdlib, glk, hd44780, icp_a106, imon, imonlcd,, IOWarrior,
irman, joy, lb216, lcdm001, lcterm, linux_input, lirc, lis, MD8800,
mdm166a, ms6931, mtc_s16209x, MtxOrb, mx5000, NoritakeVFD,
Olimex_MOD_LCD1x9, picolcd, pyramid, rawserial, sdeclcd, sed1330,
sed1520, serialPOS, serialVFD, shuttleVFD, sli, stv5730, svga, t6963,
text, tyan, ula200, vlsys_m428, xosd, yard2LCD. Optional. Type check_list. choice: 'bayrad', 'CFontz', 'CFontzPacket', 'curses', 'CwLnx', 'ea65', 'EyeboxOne', 'futaba', 'g15', 'glcd', 'glcdlib', 'glk', 'hd44780', 'icp_a106', 'imon', 'imonlcd', 'IOWarrior', 'irman', 'joy', 'lb216', 'lcdm001', 'lcterm', 'linux_input', 'lirc', 'lis', 'MD8800', 'mdm166a', 'ms6931', 'mtc_s16209x', 'MtxOrb', 'mx5000', 'NoritakeVFD', 'Olimex_MOD_LCD1x9', 'picolcd', 'pyramid', 'rawserial', 'sdeclcd', 'sed1330', 'sed1520', 'serialPOS', 'serialVFD', 'shuttleVFD', 'sli', 'stv5730', 'svga', 't6963', 'text', 'tyan', 'ula200', 'vlsys_m428', 'xosd', 'yard2LCD'.

DriverPath¶

Where can we find the driver modules ? IMPORTANT: Make sure to change this setting to reflect your
specific setup! Otherwise LCDd won't be able to find
the driver modules and will thus not be able to
function properly. NOTE: Always place a slash as last character ! Optional. Type uniline.

Note: DriverPath is computed with

 use Dpkg::Arch qw/get_host_arch debarch_to_multiarch/;
              my $triplet = debarch_to_multiarch(get_host_arch());
              "/usr/lib/$triplet/lcdproc/";

and with:
