I got the Sharp Memory-in-Pixel LCD working. Forked an old kernel module on github and made one small change to get it to compile and it worked. The future plan is to hopefully add an escape character that I can add to the keyboard firmware that will invert the display on command. The white-on-black is hard to read on this display. It also might be too small to work with comfortably... ls -l wraps around in an ugly way using the VGA8x16 console font. Anything smaller and I'm afraid my old, busted eyes will have a hard time with it. We'll see once I get the color inversion code in there.
