Re: Custom RaQ2 LCD



I'm having an issue with the LCD I could use some suggestions on, if anyone has any ideas.  It works as far as colo changing it to say 'booting...' at bootup, but I can't use putlcd to change it.  I get:
root@zelda:~# putlcd "test" "test"
Writing LCD: No such device

I'm using a custom kernel, 2.4.31 with the patches (including LCD patch) from: http://www.colonel-panic.org/ cobalt-mips/

I know it works with the debian kernel, and I THOUGHT it worked with this kernel previously, but maybe not.  dmesg shows it detecting the device:
root@zelda:~# dmesg | grep -i lcd
Cobalt LCD Driver v2.10

And the device file is there:
crw-r--r--  1 root root 10, 140 Jan 26 12:39 /dev/lcd

I can attach strace output, the but only relevant line that I see is:
open("/dev/lcd", O_RDWR)                = -1 ENODEV (No such device)

If someone could give me some ideas on where else to look, I'd appreciate it.
