Hello Paul, Sorry for the delay, been moving and haven't had much time to look at the display. From what I know lcd4linux does not directly support ks108 displays, but apparently serdisplib does support it. It is listed on the main page, the only issue is that (lucky me) while all the other pages have details, schematics, configuration settings and some screenshots, the ks108 page just says "to be done". And has been saying it for god knows how long (I think I noticed it just over a year ago). The page is here: http://serdisplib.sourceforge.net/ser/ks0108.html as it is on their supported page I presume they already have a schematic which works with serdisplib, so I should probably ask them (unless somebody on this list has any idea).
