So far I haven't been able to write a driver for any USB driven display, except the ones that emulate a serial (COM) port in XP.Nova said:what's with support for OLED displays like "Osram Pictiva"? <Snip>Unfortunately I found only one complete USB-kit for this product and thats expensive:<Snip>Wouldn't it be great to support these types of displays?
JoeDalton said:The MediaPadLayer.dll has some functions you can call like ClearScreen, SetLine, etc... Have a look at the sources of my driver here: http://svn.sourceforge.net/viewcvs....ugins/ExternalDisplay/MediaPad.cs?view=markup. It should make things more clear...
