Problem with A125 LCD board with LCDProc

@fmertz
Hi, Sorry for the very late feedback on the updated driver. I have tested the new driver you've provided and IMHO it's better than the previous driver. For example, I can enter the menu using a long press and increase or decrease the title-speed using short presses.Kind regards

According to the Github history of this driver code, the button support was added to the original A106 driver to support the A125/QNAP devices.
A random Qnap Network Attached Storage from Amazon shows Enter/Select, same as in the existing code:
Can you attach the actual documentation file from the vendor (the link above is a pain)? Maybe you have an original A106 with different button labels? A picture would help. Thanks.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, the hardware that I have seems to be of a different one. With Up/Down buttons instead of the Enter/Select that you've posted. Here is the picture of the LCM that I have:
And here is the documentation from the vendor:
A125_User_Manuel_revise_04.pdf.zipThank you very much.

@fmertz, Good morning. Apology for the late reply. I would like to report that the driver is working when I compiled it. Thank you very much! LCDProc is now working with A125 LCD using the updated drivers that you've provided. I really appreciate all the help from you guys.
I seem to be getting this same issue on pfsense 2.7.2 with the LCDProc package and the A106 driver. Any guidance would be incredibly helpful.

What issue exactly? After 5 years a lot could have changed. What are you seeing?

I confirmed I can issue commands directly from a shell to communicate with the A125 display with pfSense temporarity installed on an external USB SSD on my QNAP TS-653A.
Same shell scripts I created for TrueNAS CORE: https://github.com/elvisimprsntr/QnapFreeLCD

There was a commit in 2019 that appears to have addressed the issue, but was never merged.
