I am the author of that module, I actually thought it had been dropped some 
time back. It uses LCDProc to drive any number of LCD type displays. I ran into 
a problem with keypress / keyrelease for jogging, in that it was not supported 
by the LCDProc library, although it was supported by the specific devices I was 
targeting (Matrix Orbital). I patched the library, added an entry for the 
function in the ini file, etc. and submitted a patch to LCDProc, but it was 
never applied. As a consequence, I dropped development on the module.

I have not checked lately to see if perhaps that feature has since been 
supported.

I think the only description for linuxcnclcd is a brief comment in the source 
code:
https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/2957cc5ad0a463c39fb35c10a0c14909c09a5fb7/src/emc/usr_intf/emclcd.cc

It's a GUI that run on one of these:
https://www.matrixorbital.com/product_info.php?products_id=427

Which I think is intended to mount in the front panel of a PC case.
It's quite a compelling idea for a LinuxCNC interface, but I don't know if 
anyone knows if it works or not.
