Hi This is linux so I wouldn't say it was easy but the jivelite and squeezelite installation instructions worked well. Please note the LCD isn't a touch screen but the people who sold me the screen provided an image that got the screen to work. I think they embedded the relevant framebuffer. On the pi with and LCD, I had to identify the resolution "fbset -v" and then choose a skin on jivelite that fitted. Whereas on the example I built on a headless model B+ without a screen, jivelite worked fine once I had Xfvb installed and running prior to launching jivelite. I've added a link to the original post on how to install Gizmod to allow control of devices. This gets to the point where you can add the Powermate and make sure linux understands it. Then I had to write a gizmod script to pass commands and also amend Jivelite to accept the commands: for fun I wanted the powermate to control the now playing screen. You could of course just leave jivelite alone and have the powermate scroll and enter only. I'll add a second post to discuss how to configure Gizmod on the pi a bit later. Hope this helps, Thanks San ------------------------------------------------------------------------ San's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1422 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103051 _______________________________________________ diy mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/diy
