Any update on this? It would be great if the Smartie worked with this panel..

This might not be suitable for your display, but have a look at this driver that was developed recently. It sounds similar.

If your VFD is similar but not identical, you may be able to persuade the author to adapt it to suit...

I had a quick looks through the review articles in the links. I'd suggest you try the driver I mentioned anyway or get in touch with the author.
