NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9       lcdvc [-fh] [-a addr] [-c file] [-p port] [-r level] [-s bool]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This program shows content from a system console on a LCD controlled by
13       LCDd. As the console is usually larger than a LCD, the  area  shown  on
14       the LCD screen can be scrolled using keys attached to the display.
15
16       Additionally  it  has an autoscroll feature, which is on by default and
17       can only be disabled by using lcdvc's menu.
18
19       By default it uses /dev/vcs and /dev/vcsa devices  as  the  console  to
20       show.  Other  console  devices  can  be  set  in the configuration file
21       /etc/lcdproc/lcdvc.conf. The keys used for scrolling can be set in  the
22       config file as well.
23
