Hello Michael,
Hello alltogether,

Yes, I did!
It works pretty good, I only got som problems when starting
lcd4linux. After starting via a rc-script the display stays
sometimes blank, the process is running, so you have to kill
the process and start it again by hand. After this everthing
works fine.
I use it on my firewall, to display the load, the current IP
and the time.

What a pitty, I only have a Samsung display, it is a
dot-matrix, the display is a 0150Z from Samsung.
(on the mainboard are 4 Oki M5299A, 2 Oki M6598, 
1 chip labeled with UG-32P(or F)03-BCBN8-C94091063
and some passives)
Does anybody knows if it will work with lcd4linux?

The lcd4linux with M50530 worked fine with a AMD K6 400MHz.
