[Feature Request] Curses output without debugging info (for production use). Generic text file output.

Open dreirund opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Ahoj,

I have a "feature wish" for LCD4Linux.

Use case:

OpenWrt router with graphics output with a tiny HDMI display connected.

OpenWrt does not (easily) support graphical environment, but shows a Linux console which is accessible via /dev/tty0, and also a framebuffer via /dev/fb0.

I like to show status information there.

For this, a simple to use output driver like the curses output driver is missing, which does not show additional debugging information or a frame (the curses driver does show that). Without that, it would be an ideal driver for small displays showing the linux console, by directing the output to /dev/tty<n>.

So, I have two feature wishes:

  1. A curses output without debugging and frame (or where this can be configured),
  2. a simple text file output.

Regards!
