Hi,
I've got a userspace program that acts like a "driver".
It uses a named pipe as a "device" to speak to a daemon that
controls the LCD. It's sort of a poor man's driver.
As usual it's not complete, but functions enough to be used simply.
As is also usual I've got ideas for enhancing it, adding
key input etc - but haven't got the time to complete it yet.
If you want the code it's at
http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/jj/linux/cctl-0.1beta.tgz
As usual it's released under the GPL
