LCD display for pfsense status

[czappi]

Is it possible to integrate a driver for LCD Display on printerport to display the status on Lan or uptime.

Yes, anything is possible, you have the source.

If you are asking for this done, your better off creating a bounty request.

http://lcdproc.org/ would be a starting point.

"…LCDproc supports Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Solaris..."

LCDproc is usable, with a few restrictions, I think!

A few month ago, i connected a 4x20 HD44780 LCD to my pfsense-pc to parport, using std-winamp-style. But, IIRC, the lcdproc-pkg was built for FreeBSD 5.3?

So I endet in building my 'own package' on another BSD-machine. Transferred to the pfsense, it was working (CPU, Mem, Disk), except of everything that depends on network-data. So the Problem may be the (not) pf-specific code of LCDproc? Because of having no deeper knowledge on BSD's, I did no further testing. But nevertheless I think a Status-Display would be very nice to have…
