I'm working on an unified serial driver for LCDproc.

It currently supports pic-an-lcd, lcdserializer (a pic-based project,
assembly sources are available) and LoS-panel (currently in
development, with support for backlight switching and keypad, based on
atmel avr, this is the best interface available).

You'll find references to these interfaces, details about the
driver, as well as patches, here:
  http://wiki.ilc.pd.it/ilc_wiki/LcdprocSerial

I wrote some documentation on lcdserializer (support is included in
lcdproc-0.5), but it's not available on the website, you can find it
in the docs directory of the source tree. (Peter, why it's not on the
website? A lot of drivers lack documentation on
http://lcdproc.sourceforge.net/docs/current-user-html/).

Bye.
