what about creating plugin to control an external lcd display allowing you to view whats on xbmp or xbmc without having to have the tv on.

i guess this could be run from a usb port with a serial adapter converter unless a usb smartie exists

even simpler than this setup is to use the hip kat console monitor for xbox. it was 50 usd at compusa and has a small 2 inch lcd screen mounted on a standard xbox controller so that you can play games etc with the screen directly on your controller. pretty cool.

i know from the faq that there are two chips out there that support lcd panels. this is cool. however, i noticed that companies like http://www.crystalfontz.com and http://www.matrixorbital.com have lcd and vfd panels anywhere from 2x16 to actual graphic screens that have usb support!

i know it is asking a lot, but, since the controller ports are in fact usb maybe a driver to interface to those usb displays? i think a vfd 1x16 or 2x16 panel on an xbox case, where the dolbydigital is stamped in would be very cool and simple.
