G'Day!
I am trying to set up LCDd on my 1U server, and it requires a
device=[device name] line. In my dmesg, I get a listing of sio0 and
sio1 (and the manual for the motherboard states that it's the second
serial connector). dmesg output reveals :
sio1 at port 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa0
sio1: type 16550A
In the /dev/ directory, there is no "sio1" special file. However, the
"cuaa1", "cuala1" and tty stuff is there. I am working with :
FreeBSD azurite 5.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE #1: Mon Feb 2 00:38:21
MST 2004
LCDd 0.4.3, LCDproc Protocol 0.3 (from the ports)
So, what line do I need to use? "device=/dev/sio1" obviously won't
work, and I think I should be using the "device=/dev/cuaa1" line because
I am looking for sending data to the LCD rather than recieving from it.
(though, I would like to use the built in menus to handle configuration
stuff, but will settle for just a nice display).
