      The spec is here:

      http://drivers.portwell.com/CA_Manual/EZIO/EZIO-FINAL.PDF

      There is a picture of that ribbon cable for the keypad.

      Could also be that the serial cable is somehow not connected right.

        I don't believe it's a problem with the ribbon cable as I expect to see 0x4f sent even if the keypad is disconnected. It could be the serial cable…. I don't think the display sends anything else we can check that with. Hmm...

        A second tester could help here.

          There is another thing, too. There is a "watchdog timeout" for custom characters if you do not send all 8 bitmaps. See Note 3 in the spec.

          Send xFEx40. See if xFDx0E comes back…

            Nothing from that either. I'll have to pull it out when I have time and check it.

              I started a separate thread here. Hopefully we can get a tester or two.

                hi fmertz,
                is it possible to take 2.1.5 x64 and x32 eizo 300 driver.

                please save me…

                  Upgrade!  ;)

                  Really is there any reason you're still running 2.1.5?

                  You could compile the driver against FreeBSD 8.3 with some effort I expect.

                  Steve

                        Sure here you go.

                        But you can use fmertz's driver directly now via lcdproc if you want.
                        See: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/115071/ezio-driver-for-lcdproc
