Technologics give some simple software to show how to access lcd from user
space.

I've written a "user space driver" for 1 or 2 line lcds. This runs as a
user space demon and displays char written to /dev/lcd, which is a named
pipe. This demon emulates a simple ansi terminal (thanks to Yan Seiner for
the ANSI patches) so ANSI control sequences for clear screen/line, cursor
movement etc works, though many ANSI sequences are not implemented.

The code is not production quality, has only very rudimentary
documentation, though the source is pretty heavily commented :-)

At the moment the demon only works with HD44780 based lcds used in 8 bit
interface mode - 4 bit mode isn't currently supported, though I am
actually working on it (slowly) at the moment.

The source code is at

  http://www.comp.leeds.ac.uk/jj/linux/lcdd.tgz

and I'm happy to receive feedback from anyone using it.

cheers
Jim
