Tako, sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you.  I compiled lcdproc 
0.4.4 at the house. After whacking at my driver (CwLnx) to make it pass back 
all key presses I got to looking at the issues your having.  "output 0" is 
normal.  I don't see the page late issues your seeing, but I did see the issue 
another poster raised re: the playlist being displayed wrong on the display.  
I believe some of the tree widgets got changed.  I'll look at that this 
weekend.
