For some reason, this request has come up a lot lately. we make an 860 board
and a video board with an Epson video controller on it.
The 860 does not have video out, but you can certainly attach a video chip
to it. We used the Epson SED1386 which is now called the S1D13806. You can
find the Linux driver at:

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
