Have you considered using something like this:
http://www.simkits.com/products.php?groupid=54
These guys sell fairly compete 172 panels and the protocall/interface to
these devices is documeted and available to anyone who asks. You need to
specifically ask for the protocall/interface docs since the only docs on-line
are about using their (Windows and MS Flight Sim) software. I got a copy of
one of the protocall/instaerface docs (I think it was for the altimeter but I
can't find it now) about two years ago and it should not be an issue to hook
these into FlightGear even on a Linux box.
The only drawback I see for these is that they are not cheap at about $400 to
$600 per instrument if prebuilt but you can also get these in kit forum and
get these for less than 1/2 the prebuilt price. Compared to a TFT panel they
would be more realistic in your aircraft.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
