Hi folks, I recently bought the Versatile Front Display (VFD) upgrade kit for my Shuttle barebone. Duncan, you did a great job with the plugin - it's working quite fine. Nevertheless, I have some changes/additions.
First of all, the vendor/productIDs of my display differ from the ones in the plugin. Thus, I replaced self.vendorID and self.productID by a list self.usbIDs of valid tuples (productID, vendorID), which are searched against existing usb IDs on the system. Additionally, I disliked the fact that after shutting down freevo the last message was kept in the display. To cope with that, I added a helper method show_clock() and a shutdown() method to the plugin, that 1. clears the display and 2. initializes it with the clock display upon shutdown. Maybe step 2 could be made conditional by a local_conf.py option, but I like the clock display very much... ;o) That much for the content of the attached freevo-1.7.1-vfd.patch. In addition, I attached an freevo-1.7.1.ebuild, based on the freevo-1.7.0.ebuild by Lucian: (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg15106.html) It needs the vfd-patch in the files dir and honors the alsa use flag to pull in pyalsaaudio. Also, the ebuild depends on the freevo layman overlay to pull in the latest versions of kaa-*, ... Have fun!
