what software are you using to drive this?

Not sure, I always planned on driving them with my own software.

I'm sure can find something that will drive them, there is also a serial plug in for girder that you could probably use.

I see...I was just wondering. I've got a 24x8 display in my personal (non-car) computer...and I've been working on my own software since I can't find anything for a display that big.

Ugh! I know the LCD you are speaking off, it's the one used by PJRC.com on their MP3 project. No backlighting, ugh!

Yeah...I bought it a long time ago...back when you had to build your own interface circuit...broke it...bought a new one. I've been working on a program that shows system stats and Half-Life Multi-Player stats. Probably about 65% done, but it's on the back burner now....WAY back!
