And this is the putlcd from CoLo?

Which LCD patch?  I cannot find anything in the 2.4 patches on that
page.

The way the LCD is controlled changed at some point.  This is a
wild guess, but it seems that that your kernel is using the old
method.  Does the tool from
http://people.debian.org/~pm/mips-cobalt/lcdutils-0.2.tar.gz
work?

BTW, why don't you just use a Debian kernel?  (You can use 2.6 if
2.4.27 is too old for you.)
