LCDproc will nicht, 4x20 LCD-Display flackert nur

Hallo,

ich habe mir ein LCD-Display 4x20 gekauft mit HD44780-Kompatiblem Controller und ein Parallelport-Kabel angeschlossen, alle elektrischen Leitungen überprüft, es ist genau nach diesem Schema angeschlossen, alle Verbindungen sind ausgemessen (s. angehängte Datei)

Dann habe ich das Parallelport-Kabel an LPT1 angeschlossen, der auf 0x278
im BIOS mit ECP+EPP eingestellt ist sowie von einem Laufwerkstecker die +5V / -5V-Leitung abgezwackt und laut Anschlussplan angeschlossen.

In /etc/LCDd.conf habe ich folende Einträge vorgenommen:

# Server section with all kinds of settings for the LCDd server
Driver=HD44780

Bind=127.0.0.1
# Tells the driver to bind to the given interface

Port=13666
# Listen on this specified port; defaults to 13666.

ReportLevel=5

# Driver sections are below this line, in alphabetical order

[HD44780]
# Hitachi HD44780 driver
# See docs/hd44780_howto.txt

Port=0x278
# Port where the LPT is. Usual values are 0x278, 0x378 and 0x3BC

ConnectionType=winamp
# 4bit, 8bit, winamp
# Select what type of connection. See documentation for types.

Keypad=no
# If you have a keypad connected. Keypad layout is currently not
# configureable from the config file.

Backlight=yes
# If you have a switchable backlight.

Size=20x4
# Specifies the size of the LCD.
# In case of multiple combined displays, this should be the total size.

#vspan=1,2
# For multiple displays: at what 'logical' lines do the individual displays
# start.

#extended=yes
# If you want to use more than 3 HD44780 controllers on the LPT, you need to
# specify this. See documentation.

#DelayMult=2
# If your display is slow and cannot keep up with the flow of data from
# LCDd, garbage can appear on the LCDd. Set this delay factor to 2 or 4
# to increase the delays. Default: 1.

DelayBus=true
# You can reduce the inserted delays by setting this to false.
# On fast PCs it is possible your LCD does not respond correctly.
# Default: true.

#Device=/dev/ttyS0
# For PIC-an-LCD connection type only: the serial device to which the LCD
# is connected. Default: /dev/lcd

Ergebnis: Das LCD flackert zwar (die Hintergrundbeleuchtung), aber ich erhalte folgende Fehler bei logread -f:

Wo liegt der Fehler, warum zeigt das Display nichts an? Kann mir jemand helfen? Wäre super!! Danke!

So,
habe auch mal User auf Root gesetzt, der "Flackerer" war wohl ein Wackelkontakt, habe alles ncoh mal nachgemessen... aber das Display zeigt immer noch nichts an, die 1. und 3. Zeile sind komplett weiß, die 2. und 4. blau, aber es erscheint keine anzeige und nur die Meldungen im Log:

Habe dazu auch schon hier im Forum nachgelesen, aber finde den Fehler nicht... hat jemand eine Idee?
