Thanks, Jordan....
This LCD video device employs no standard graphics chip, so unless we emulate a VESA or other standard hardware type in our custom hardware, we would not be able to use an existing driver. HOWEVER...
What do you think about configuring MicroWindows to write to a virtual frame buffer (kernel option). Then, if we understand the data structure of the resulting image, we should be able to read pixel data from the virtual frame buffer and send it on out to our custom display hardware.
Do you know of any problems setting up MicroWindows for use with a virtual frame buffer?
