The minibox M-200 case is what i have built my network appliance in, standard ubuntu and other Linux builds have some support for this LCD display and keypad. the best support for it i have seen so far is LCDproc. if we could somehow get this to support LCDproc or some other method of using the LCD panel and keypad for I/O operations.
Or if this option is already incorporated could you direct me to some help info to get me started on setting it up.
