Well, my display has a ks0108 controller, and a search came up with a pure pythonic solution done in pycar (.sf.net). He uses pygame to create the image and then writes out the screen contents (after converting it to B&W) to the display. At first it did not seem to be so efficient as a graphlcd solution, but I liked the pure pythonic approach. It might be possible to write an optimised driver or add other display drivers. Where other display drivers could also mean interface to graphlcd. > > Did you by chance use that library, or implemented something completely > new and specific to your display? > > For which Freevo version? 1.5.2 (the current one) > > > a) if I can for example use a fbdev/x11 for one display and use a second > > set of skins without for example mplayer output for the second LCD > > screen. > > This is indeed something I'd want to know (or get advice from the core > devs) too, once the Freevo 2 concepts regarding displays and stuff are > stable enough. Freevo 2 sounds like a good idea. I have however no idea on the status or whom to ask for further advice. Do you have any idea on the gui structure / whom to ask when the display things might be stable enough.
