I'm trying to get a CFA634-YMC-KS work with my TiVo and I'm not having much luck. I'm driving it externally via a native version of lcdproc (LCDd) that I compiled for my Series 1 Tivo, but all I get is the blinking cursor. I know the Tivo is sending the proper data out because if I connect it to a PC and run Hyperterm I can see the data lcdproc is sending out the serial port.
The display also works fine when connected to a PC. I can use either lcdproc or CrystalControl succesfully.
I'm using power taken off of an unused hard drive power connector inside the unit and routed to an external connector. The display boots up fine, so I don't think the problem is with the power.
The serial signal is being taken via the external serial port on the back of the TiVo. As I stated above, I see the data correctly if I run the data cable to a serial port on a PC, but if I connect it to the 634 I get nothing.
Any tips or suggestions? I've tried different speeds, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
