      We deploy these Mini-box systems for client firewalls.  We have been using the non-LCD versions, but would like to start using the LCD versions…a little eye candy never hurt sales  ;)

      $100 bounty for working embedded pfSense distribution with support for the picoLCD display.

        I am also looking a the Mini-Box-M300-LCD case and should have one arrive the next couple of days.  What board are you using in the mini-box case as I am looking at the ALIX1C board for this application.

        What functions are you looking to display on the LCD?

        gm…

          Look at this thread:  http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,4065.0.html
          Same hardware, same demand.

          AFAIK LCDproc is in the making and available as package already but not yet (fully?) functional.

            I am looking for very generic display output…whatever is easiest.  Memory usage, CPU usage, software version, etc.  Traffic stats and interface IP addresses would be nice, but not required.

            Jahonix:  I was unsuccessful compiling LCDproc for this hardware, so I'm taking the easy way out and posting the bounty for someone with a little more skills.

              Guys
              We've spent ages so far trying to get LCDProg working with PicoLCD (on M200/300) without any luck - However, we're getting really close.

              Here's a few things that MIGHT help you crack the code! (we're not BSD gurus)

              Patch Libusb:

              Patch the driver: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-embedded/2007-November/000240.html

              There's an issue with the way the driver is detected - It shows as a UHID driver (meaning that the native lcdproc driver can't see it)
              See here: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=26068+0+archive/2007/freebsd-embedded/20071209.freebsd-embedded

              Any luck / ideas etc - We'd be very appreciative.

              Cheers
              Andy
