https://ibb.co/ftSSB8CTo me it does look like it is a USB.
This is what pfsense is showing

If you unplug the screen and boot without it do you lose the cuaU0 and cuaU1 devices?
Kind of hard to see in the picture, how many wires are in the LCM connection?
It looks like it might be two USB devices, I imagine one for the button array and one for the screen.
Try running at the command line
usbconfig dump_all_descthat will show you all pfSense knows about those devices.Steve

Had disconnected the display and started up the server. Non of the "Com port(s)" changed. I took a few more pictures of the connector.

The usbconfig output was taken with the screen connected? That sure looks like USB connections. Hmm.
Those /dev/cuaUx devices are USB connected com ports so it they are not that then you must have something else like a 3G modem or GPS etc. But looking again that's just what is shown in lcdproc, I don't think that list is dynamic. Check to see what actual ports you have available in /dev.
4x 10G NICs and 16x 1G NICs? Nice!

Here you go.
dev.txtThat was my thoughts about that port looking like usb.
The dev/led didn't show anything good. It was just showing locate/fault of the nics.
-
Ok, so no additional com ports shown.
Was the usb_output.txt file above taken with the screen still connected?
If not then reconnect it and take that again.It's hard to believe that is not USB.

Heres an updated usb and pci dump.
usb output2.txt
pciconf2.txtCom port list
-
That list on com ports will never change. It's a static menu in the lcdproc package.
That lead is almost certainly USB. The colours are pin positions all point to that.
If you boot the Checkpoint OS does the display work?
Is it possible that should be on the USB header next to it? Or was it glued to the LCM header?
Steve
-
Never had the software on it when I got it.
It was glued to that header that it is currently plugged in.
-
Hmm, hard to imagine how it would not be seen by usbconfig. I'm wondering if it has another usb controller pfSense can't see. Or perhaps it's not USB at all and they just used that cable because it was available....
The any sort of clue at the other end?
-
This is the only thing that's on the other end. Not much to go on.
https://ibb.co/xj1rh7bI can load the checkpoint OS on it if I can find it.

Ah, great, that will prove the screen is connected correctly at least. There may also be some clue in the boot log about how it's connecting. There may be something in the BIOS is you have access to it.

Didn't see anything in the BIOS.
The BIOS had a password on it. I don't know if someone thought they were being funny or what. It was set to {removed}.
I'll load up the original OS and see what can find. Unfortunately I don't have any way to do a screen capture. Any ideas?
-
I removed the BIOS password as I'm not sure Checkpoint would be happy about it. That's the same password that's been on every CP box I've seen though. It's easy to find on the internet for anyone reading this.
-
Okay got you some logs from the checkpoint OS
usb-devices.txt
dmesg.txt
Also the screen works with the proper OS installed.
-
Hmm, doesn't look like USB then.... nothing shown in the boot log that looks interesting either.
I'd probably try to locate the system that is built from or something else with the same LCD and see if that has a manual detailing it. Most of their stuff is Portwell IIRC and the NIC modules in the 13500 still look like that but I don't see anything like that LCD available.
