Other License: 
Package: FreeLCD
System name: flcd
Type: GNU

Description:
FreeLCD is a collection of applications for displaying information on an LCD or 
VFD. It supports graphical and character-oriented displays, and most of the 
common widths and heights.

Data and layout information is provided by clients, in a device-independent 
format. The server tries to render this as good as possible to the connected 
device. Information is scheduled for display according to rate of change 
(dynamic content is shown more often) and importance (alerts show more and 
longer).

Possible uses:
- Server stats (cpu load, users, uptime, up/download, temperature)
- Alerts (new email, buddy online, build finished)
- Information from online sources (news headlines, dynamic TV guide)

Planned features:
- Unicode
- Good l10n support
- Truetype text rendering to graphical displays
- Support for more than one connected device

A very pre-alpha version can be downloaded here:
