The language actually wasn't the problem - more the fact that the image 
was so small that it was very hard to read.

Ok, looking at the schematic you sent, your config looks way off. It if 
you wired it like on the schematics (and if I didn't screw up reading 
the schematics), it should look like this:

Port "0x378"
Size "16x2"
Bits "8"
Wire.RW "AUTOFD"
Wire.RS "INIT"
Wire.ENABLE "STROBE"
Wire.ENABLE2 "GND"
Wire.GPO "GND"

I hope that helps
