    Hi there,

    i am a little experienced in OpenBSD, but I am not able to use my LCD
    screen.

    It is connected to a serial port on my i386, it uses vt100 emulation.

    On other OS'es I can send text to it using
    echo "Hi there" > /dev/ttyS0 (for example)

    But under OpenBSD it does not do anything.

    The LCD does not have modem control signals,
    so the OS should not test anything just send the raw characters...

    So my conlusion is that I need to manipulate the serial port is a certain
    way..

    I tried to make getty use a vt100 on the port,
    but it still does not write anything
    (probably it is still using modem control signals)

    I hope that you guys understand my problem and do have a solution.

    Thanks for your answer
