Lcdproc is a client/server suite including drivers for all kinds of nifty LCD displays. The server supports several serial devices: Matrix Orbital, Crystal Fontz, Bayrad, LB216, LCDM001 (kernelconcepts.de), Wirz-SLI and PIC-an-LCD; and some devices connected to the LPT port: HD44780, STV5730, T6963, SED1520 and SED1330. As of 0.4.4 some USB displays are also supported by the drivers CFonz633, CwLnx, and USBLCD.

This package contains the LCD drivers which need extra libraries to run such as USB, LIRC, SVGA, and the X Window System.
