to get the gallantweb 500 serial lcd working with something like redhat fedora core 1 while retaining the functionality of the original gallantweb software (including front panel buttons working)... (dcarr has written an alternative lcd script but front panel buttons do not work)
i guess you need the files...
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lcd_daemon
/usr/local/gallantweb/sbin/lcd_daemon
/usr/local/gallantweb/sbin/lcd_setup
might need...
/var/lock/subsys/lcd_daemon
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
(can someone verify this?)
pay attention to the permissions... if you nuked the original install on the gallantweb you can just grab those files from the cd-rom inside of gallant.tar
start manually as root by issuing an /etc/rc.d/init.d/lcd_daemon
hope that helps!!!
(if someone is still looking for an gallantweb 500 server you can find them on ebay all the time and i think outpost.com still has the gallantweb 700's)
