Writing to the LCD (RN516)
Does anyone have any notes on how to enable hardware support or load kernel modules etc, in order to obtain a workable method to access the displays on ReadyNAS devices from within alternative linux ...
Not sure if these are very active forums. Might consider sharing a zip so that if someone can help they can see it later.

They are still fairly active, but I don't think many folks are trying to switch to a different OS at this point.

Could well be different for the RN516.
Experience testing this suggests that the success mentioned here is dependant upon module support included in the opensolaris/nexentastore distribution.
and yeah, the 516 also seems different.
