LCDproc: no nexcom.so ?? (pfs 2.3.5)
-
Hi there,
Busy trying to get the LCDproc working on a NSA1405L(FL). looking at https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=15913.msg82910;topicseen#msg82910 it should be there, and even have a dropdown menu option "nexcom (x86 only)", but seems that the installation media I used, doesn't have it:Nov 25 18:14:17 LCDd Could not open driver module /usr/local/lib/lcdproc/nexcom.so: Cannot open "/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/nexcom.so"[2.3.5-RELEASE][root@hvg.localdomain.hvt]/root: ls /usr/local/lib/lcdproc/ CFontz.so SureElec.so lb216.so sdeclcd.so t6963.so CFontzPacket.so bayrad.so lcdm001.so sed1330.so text.so CwLnx.so curses.so lcterm.so sed1520.so tyan.so EyeboxOne.so ea65.so ms6931.so serialPOS.so vlsys_m428.so IOWarrior.so glcd.so mtc_s16209x.so serialVFD.so MD8800.so glk.so picolcd.so shuttleVFD.so MtxOrb.so hd44780.so pyramid.so sli.so NoritakeVFD.so icp_a106.so rawserial.so stv5730.so [2.3.5-RELEASE][root@hvg.localdomain.hvt]/root: -
Looks like there is no perfect solution, yet, but there is a write-up here that highlights a couple of options:

After looking around some more, it looks like support for the Nexcom devices was added to the "generic" hd44780 driver after all:
ConnectionType=lcm162
Documentation change:
