Hello,
Been following this thread, and thought I would poke my nose
in.
We are in the process of writing a driver (heavily based on
LCDProc - http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net) and the source
for this seems to be pretty easy to work with.
The panel and driver board we are using hooks into a serial
port, I take it this is what you are looking for?
We will of course be releasing the driver BSD style license
when its finished :)
Just letting you know, check the LCDproc code, it is pretty solid.
