   I have a PowerEdge 1950, and would love to know more about how to update the LCD display. Any news?

   @Bill LCD is supposed to talk ipmi. I installed some of the pre-requisites (ipmitool,openipmi, and the ipmi_si module) but had little sucess with my experiments.

   Clearly my ipmi setup is faulty. Other example of brokeness: snmp gets performance data from the ipmi subsystem and I’ve got no perf data from snmp.

   The two resources I found most helpful were:

   Good luck. Please, comment back if you are able to update your LCD
