Well, I'm sure it's possible to use it with lcd4linux.

But I'd need more information: from their website, I can't even find out 
how it's connected (Parallel port, USB, ...)

Do you have something like a data sheet or a detailed description of the 
display?

bye, Michael

Hi Patrick,

Looks good, but will not be of much help. This is the LCD controller, 
but I'm shure there's another microcontroller (the PICxyz you mentioned) 
which controls the serial port. What I need for adopting a driver is the 
serial protocol. These protocols differ *a lot* from the LCD 
controller's protocol, because this uC tries to do a lot of work and 
provide sort of a "high level" interface.

I'm afraif if you don't find any documentation we will fail here...

Is there any software out there which uses this display? You could use 
this software, but don't connect a display to the serial port, but a 
sniffer which records the data going over the serial bus....

bye, Michael
