Greg,
 I have added the (2.6) modified code to the following location.

http://code.google.com/p/toobo/source/browse/trunk/drivers/modules/glcd-2.6

 The test application I am using is the same that I wrote for the 2.4
version. 

http://code.google.com/p/toobo/source/browse/trunk/drivers/modules/glcd/test

 Currently, I do not have a script to automatically invoke insmod and
grab the major number and mknod. I do this step by hand.

 For example, when I insmod, I print out what major number was
allocated and then manually type in 
 mknod /dev/glcd0 c 252 0
[The above example assumes that I got a major number of 252 back when
I insmod. I also make sure the major number is correct by cat-ing the
/proc/devices file.]

 I have added a helloworld module and a test application and I see the
same results with it. i.e. NO such device or address (6)

 I have uploaded it at, 
 
http://code.google.com/p/toobo/source/browse/trunk/drivers/modules/hello-2.6

 I still haven't tried running it on my native linux box (x86) for
comparison. But, I will keep you posted.

Thanks for your help!
-Vijay
