You shouldn't need to change anything for 0.19. The lcdserver
will be started automatically when the first client connects.

There's a readme in programs/mythlcdserver/ that has a little info.

There's also a list of commands the server accepts at the top of
programs/mythlcdserver/lcdserver.cpp other than that the source 
is the documentation =)

You could run the mythlcdserver from the command line with the
-v network -x 10 parameters to see if it is connecting to the LCDd
properly. Make sure you don't have another instance running or it
will fail to bind to the port.
