Hello,

I am trying to write a lcd4linux driver for the Futaba VFD DM140GINK.
Which is a USB VFD display. I wanted to ask if someone knows if there is
a driver for this display.

I found some documentation for this VFD, too. It is packed in a zip file

http://elancup.emc.com.tw/VFD/DM140GINK.zip

In /proc/bus/usb/devices, it is defined this way:
T:  Bus=02 Lev=02 Prnt=04 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#=  6 Spd=12  MxCh= 0
D:  Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs=  1
P:  Vendor=040b ProdID=7001 Rev= 2.00
S:  Manufacturer=DM-140GINK Demo
S:  Product=DM-140GINK Demo
C:* #Ifs= 2 Cfg#= 1 Atr=c0 MxPwr=  0mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 2 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbhid
E:  Ad=02(O) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=4ms
E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=10ms
I:* If#= 1 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID  ) Sub=01 Prot=01 Driver=usbhid
E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   2 Ivl=25ms

and lsusb:
