Hi all.
I wanted to connect a LCD to a MPC823-based board and to use
microwindows too .

Correct.
But what happens when the externel controller is provided?
Is there a LinuxPPC driver for it?
Does the LCD device become such as a character device
(or something like that) that needs a suitable node in /dev
with its own driver to be registered?
I tryed to configure Wolfgang's 2.4.4-2001-11-24 kernel for
TQM860L and while (obviously) there is no LCD driver for
860, the framebuffer is still there...
Does it mean that anyway it is possible to use a LCD with MPC860?
Thank you for any answer!
Bye
Piero
