      Hello,

      Using PFSense ver 2.3.6-DEVELOPMENT and installed package LCDProc ver 0.10.5 per attached picture.

      Have done the following including numerous reboots of the firewall, power cycle, etc.

      Install LCDProc - FW-7568A
      *
      Goto System>Package Manager>Available Packages>
      *
      Search for LCDProc and install it
      *
      After install go to Services>and select LCDProc
      *
      ComPort: Parallel port 1 (/dev/lpt0) 
      *
      Display Size: 2 Rows 20 Colums   
      *
      Driver: Watchguard Firebox with SDEC 
      *
      This option was not available in current version: "Connection Type: Serial LPT wiring "
      *
      Refresh Frequency: 5 Seconds  … 
      *
      Dont forget to enable some screens in the Screens tab.
      *
      Go to System Tab > Advanced > Networking Tab then look for "Prefer IPv4 over IPv6" click checked then save it.
      *
      Reboot then fully functional on LCD
      *
      Diagnostics -> Edit File -> "/usr/local/pkg/lcdproc.inc"
      *
              change "localhost" for "127.0.0.1" to fix bug
      *
                  (where LCD screen only showed "Cli:0 and A=Scr:0" or "-> options")

      All I see on the LCD is top row of squares and it's backlit which is what it always has done.

      Thoughts?  Thanks!

        @oklord Does anyone have any thoughts on how to use the LCD on the Lanner Firewall with PFSense 2.44
