lumex 4 line display

[glkosec]

Has anyone ever used a lumex four line display? I am trying to connect the 18f14k50 to it in 4-bit bus mode and all i get on the output is the second and the fourth lines completly dark and nothing on the first and third lines. The setup code for the registers and stuff is below. PLease let me know if im missing anything. The part number for the display is LCM-So1604DSF. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just spent a couple of hours with the same problem using a 4x20 chars LCD. In my case the problem was that the LCD R/W pin was floating instead of being pulled low. I just tied it to GND and voila!, it worked.
Check this.

I just flailed about for a couple of hours with some really simple code to find my PIC has a couple of bad ports, a new PIC all was well.

I have a four line display that gave trouble. I did this to make it work.
