Between 2.8p15 (6df9cf6d15b7d2aa73edfcdb5a64b0e8df13eaad) and 2.9p8 (ef28fa555bf5371c30f951cf8df3a25de9c67a98) there has been a lot of changes, but none at all which are specific to the LCD interface (or at least of any importance, from what I can see). Since 3.1p1 there haven't been any changes which would fix this issue (yet), so trying current HEAD from git would not fix it.
One thing you could do is to try each version after 2.8p15 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/owfs/files/owfs/), to identify in which version it broke. You should be able to build from source without have to overwrite binaries (just skip install and run from src dir). > > I am rather surprised there have been no other reports on the list up to now > if something is broken.

But yes, if it worked with 2.8p15 it "should" work with later as well. Regards Johan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
