LUIse driver

This driver supports displays from LCDShop24 using the LCD-USB-Interface by Wallbraun Electronics.

The displays are fully graphical with a resolution of 320×240 pixels. The driver supports loading of a background image, therefore the results look really cool:

Have a look at the Cool Stuff page for a larger picture!

The driver needs a special library called „libLUIse“ which can be downloaded from Wallbraun Electronics. configure tries to detect if the library is available, and otherwise disables the driver.

Since 2008-10-14 there are additional informations about V3 controller with documentation of the protocol used. Wallbraun Electronics will not publish own Linux drivers for the V3 controller.
