+	  is accessible through the /dev/lcd char device (10, 156), and the
+	  keypad through /dev/keypad (10, 185). Both require misc device to be
+	  enabled. This code can either be compiled as a module, or linked into
+	  the kernel and started at boot. If you don't understand what all this

+	---help---
+	  This is the index of the parallel port the panel is connected to. One

+	    5 = 2x40 parallel LCD (old one), with old keypad

+	  Most LCDs use a standard controller which supports hardware lines of 40

+	  to the terminal. This results in some non-visible but addressable characters,
+	  and is the case for most parallel LCDs. Other LCDs, and some serial ones,
+	  however, use the same line width internally as what is visible. The KS0074
+	  for example, uses 16 characters per line for 16 visible characters per line.

+	  where many symbols are at unusual places. The driver knows how to map
+	  'standard' ASCII characters to the character sets used by these controllers.
+	  Valid values are :
+
+	     0 : normal (untranslated) character set

+	---help---
+	  This driver now supports any serial or parallel LCD wired to a parallel
+	  port. But before assigning signals, the driver needs to know if it will
+	  be driving a serial LCD or a parallel one. Serial LCDs only use 2 wires
+	  (SDA/SCL), while parallel ones use 2 or 3 wires for the control signals
+	  (E, RS, sometimes RW), and 4 or 8 for the data. Use 0 here for a 8 bits
+	  parallel LCD, and 1 for a serial LCD.
