      Hi folks

      Im not so good at packages and stuff.

      I was wondering if the latest LCDproc package for pfsense 2.4.5 has FTDI support in it?

      I cannot make it to work with HD44780 and a FT2232 chip.

      I run:
      LCDd -f -r 5 -s 0

      And get:

      Listening for queries on 127.0.0.1:13666
      screenlist_init()
      driver_load(name="hd44780", filename="/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/hd44780.so")
      hd44780: unknown ConnectionType: ftdi
      Driver [hd44780] init failed, return code -1
      Module /usr/local/lib/lcdproc/hd44780.so could not be loaded
      Could not load driver hd44780
      There is no output driver
      Critical error while initializing, abort.```
      
      I have these after I plug in the chip in the usb:
      /dev/cuaU0
      /dev/cuaU1
      /dev/ugen0.2
      
      Config file:
      [server]
      DriverPath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/
      Driver=hd44780
      Bind=127.0.0.1
      Port=13666
      ReportLevel=3
      ReportToSyslog=yes
      User=nobody
      Foreground=no
      ServerScreen=no
      GoodBye="Thanks for using"
      GoodBye="    pfSense     "
      WaitTime=5
      ToggleRotateKey=Enter
      PrevScreenKey=Left
      NextScreenKey=Right
      ScrollUpKey=Up
      ScrollDownKey=Down
      
      [menu]
      MenuKey=Escape
      EnterKey=Enter
      UpKey=Up
      DownKey=Down
      
      [hd44780]
      driverpath=/usr/local/lib/lcdproc/
      ConnectionType=ftdi
      Device=/dev/cuaU0
      Port=0x378
      Speed=0
      Contrast=850
      Brightness=800
      OffBrightness=0
      Backlight=yes
      OutputPort=no
      Charmap=hd44780_default
      DelayBus=true
      Size=20x4
      DelayMult=32
      Keypad=no
      
      Any ideas?
      
      How can I see how the package is compiled?
