AFAIK, there is no linux driver for this display, and, no one has asked about it on this forum for about 2 years!! Still, it's the display in my media centre case in my bedroom and it was annoying not to have it working.
Therefore, I wrote an LCDproc compatible driver for the display and modded the lcdproc addon for xbmc to support the custom icons of this display.
Probably no one but me still has this case anymore, it's quite old now so I see no point in submitting the driver to LCDproc, or the futaba extension to team XBMC.

Credits to Steve Williams for his work on a simple driver for the display, the LCDproc team, and of course team XBMC.
Small caveat - You will need to compile your kernel from scratch !! Details on the mods to two of the kernel files (and the reason for them) are in the install instructions.
