      I have updated my previous post with both drivers as separate attachments

      32 bit version : http://www.vizi0n.com/watchguard/sdeclcd.so.32bit.zip
      64 bit version : http://www.vizi0n.com/watchguard/sdeclcd.so.64bit.zip

      Please confirm if the 64 bit works as I have no way to test it. Also make sure that you run "chmod +x sdeclcd.so" to make it executable

        Thank you, vizi0n. That worked on my XTM515 box (running 2.3.4 amd64)! Now the backlight stays on! I am happy and frankly kinda giddy. I appreciate your help.

        Cheers

              I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question. I opened the file "sdeclcd.so.64bit.zip" and noticed the "__MACOSX" folder. I don't have a Mac.

                I do haha. Sorry, I did not notice that it had added this folder. I thought I had zipped it on my VM. You only need the .so file inside the zip

                EDIT: I have updated both zip files to remove the __MACOSX folder

                  Hi, How did you manage to get pfsense loaded on your XTM 515? I have a XTM 535 and want to load pfsense, but no write up is available. From what I understand 515 and 535 have the same internals, only software locked by watchguard.

                    Replied in the XTM 5 thread.

                    Please don't double post. This thread is specifically for questions about the LCD driver. And it's included upstream in LCDproc now anyway.

                      Oh dang the backlight turns off now after pfSense 2.4.1 update. Any ideas? Could this be a file signing issue?

                        Even after reuploading the file?

                        32-bit support has been deprecated and removed – There are no images available for 32-bit (x86/i386) Intel architecture systems

                        Awww its the end for the updates on my x750e :(

                          Yes, I tried that. I also tried:
                          1. deleting the sdeclcd.so file and replacing with fresh downloaded copy
                          2. uninstalling LCDProc package and reinstalling
                          3. rebooting

                          Maybe I missed something, or maybe 2.4.1 added a file signing feature for security? I'll keep trying…

                                Thank you so much, Vizi0n. I can confirm that your new file works on pfSense 2.4.1. This new modified LCDproc sdecled.so file keeps the LCD backlight powered on forever. These are the steps I used:

                                1)  stop the LCDproc service
                                2)  open console shell
                                3)  mv /usr/local/lib/lcdproc/sdeclcd.so /usr/local/lib/lcdproc/sdeclcd.so.bak
                                4)  fetch http://vizi0n.com/watchguard/sdeclcd.so.freebsd11.zip
                                5)  unzip sdeclcd.so.freebsd11.zip
                                6)  cp sdeclcd.so /usr/local/lib/lcdproc
                                7)  chmod +x sdeclcd.so

                                Cheers

                                      You have any other packages installed? Low drive space?

                                      That looks like a general LCDproc issue though. Better to ask here:
                                      https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=44034.0

                                      Or  maybe in the packages section generally.

                                        Hi, I have newly installed pfsense to my watchguard xtm5 series hardware via cf, installed to 500gb HDD. I have downloaded the lcdproc package from the package manager however I cannot get the display to work. The service won't start and if it does it reverts to defaults and the display just shows the bios version and nothing more,as it did before lcdproc package was installed. My understanding is you need to manually configure files. I am happy to do this but am not sure where to go, what files to modify and how to modify them.
                                        Any assistance appreciated 👍🏻

                                          You should be able to use the package settings directly. The previous issues have mostly been eliminated with a recent round of bug fixes. Be sure to set some screens on the second tab or it won't start. So:

                                          Selection_838.png

                                          And then something like:

                                          Selection_839.png

                                          Steve

                                            @stephenw10 hi, I have done this exactly but the settings revert back to defaults and the service won't start
