Ok, figured it out.
First of all I started by downloading/compiling/installing the latest kernel
build (2.2.14). Then I downloaded lcdproc, patched it and compiled/installed
it.
Then, I ran mknod as root. The command should look like this:
mknod lcd c 10 160
Ps: I was in the /dev directory already.
Now, if youve installed the new kernel correctly then doing a command like:
date > /dev/lcd
Should print out something. :)
So then try running lcdproc:
/usr/local/bin/LCDd -d HD44780_ANS
/usr/local/bin/lcdproc C M T X &
If all went like it should you should get neat stuff on your LCD. Enjoy.
Thanks to all the people who had already posted this info in chunks.
