We've updated the USB LCD script with various improvements. Above is a screenshot of the new version running on my Pi under MinePeon.

I've also created an installation guide for using the script with MinePeon. Code and more information can be found here:

I hope y'all like it, and get some use out of it. Thanks again to Kano for the invaluable help and code contributions.  Smiley
Yes, I do like it. That's a photo @ the end of my post...

Now, I have a probably very stupid problem, as, using a Portuguese expression, "I know so much of Linux as I know how oil mills work...".

I started cgminerLCDStats.py using a PuTTY session from my Windows laptop. The same window I use to access RPI's cgminer via screen -r.

As the program runs, I don't have access to the cursor, to enter cgminer screen mode. If I try something, the python program stops. How can I start the cgminerLCDStats program "in background", without having to have a SSH session "trapped" with the python program? I don't have local keyboard/mouse on this RPI.
