It looks like you should just be able to set
[DISPLAY]
DISPLAY=linuxcnclcd

And control LinuxCNC with an LCD panel.

The source file (src/user_intf/emclcd.cc) seems to suggest using the
Matrix Orbital MX4
http://www.matrixorbital.ca/products/mx_series/mx4/
But that is probably no longer available.

Looks close.

They appear to be generically drive-bay LCD inserts with buttons and
USB or Serial connection to the PC.

You can imagine a small format PC with just an LCD in the drive bay to
control a simple machine.

I just tried it, and it appeared to be trying to work, but not finding
an LCD (not a great surprise)
