If we're going to say 'LCD controller', let's be very clear to differentiate
between 'raw glass' and high level frambuffer 'LCD controllers'.  I'm still
having flashbacks to ATMELs presentation last week where a dozen different
parts said they had 'LCD controllers' on them, and they all means something
different by it.  You sort of had to go by context--AVRs used it to mean 
'raw glass' while the ARM9 stuff generally meant framebuffer style.  So,
what should I assume for the ARM7 parts in the middle? ;)

Personally, I have little use for 'raw glass' controllers and I prefer the
framebuffer driver type.  

Cheers,
David
