7i73 LCD shows rubisch

BIG THX

I have a 7i73 and I have an LCD. But I am not expecting to be home very much until mid-February. (I am currently north of the Arctic circle)

Shy question
Any news on that problem.

I am currently trying to get an LCD to work at all so that I have a way to test the software. I have removed the 7i73 from my milling machine, but I am not sure that the LCD I have ever worked.
I have another to try, and I suspect that, somewhere, I might even have another still with the right cable, but can't find it.

AFAIK the driver change the broke the 7I73 is the one that allows direct parameter access.
As a side effect this sets all parameters to 0. This is likely to cause all kinds of troubles with
Mesa sserial cards

I think any driver change that touches sserial parameters without a
specific user request should be enabled by a flag (maybe per channel)

One general problem with lcd i found is the brightness voltage. It is often needed slightly negative. That's why i do not use the 7i73 pin but have a icl7660 generate -5v and use a simple poti.
