I think `ls /dev/ttyUSB*' may find the device if your loading the ftdi 
kernel module.

Also, lis2 won't work for the HD135 per Sean Meiner's note to this list on 
October 8, 2007 Re: [Lcdproc] Zalman HD135/VlSys MPlay Blast driver

That posting also included a patch to add a new device called mplay. If 
you are any good with patching you might try the patch. You can find the 
email in the list archive.

Apparently the patch was never committed to CVS as Sean didn't supply the 
documenation our kind friend Peter Marschall asked for.

If you feel up to it maybe ask Peter if you could supply the docs. If the 
driver patch works it might all be committed to CVS, making it more 
accessible to all and get include in the next release of lcdproc.

I'm not sure what the policy is on an apparently abandoned patch like this 
so be sure to check with Peter before you commit effort to it.

That's about as far as I can help as I don't have that particular display.
