Hidden away somewhere in the lirc instructions is the little gem that
you must have the lirc items as the first entries in
modprobe.conf...otherwise lirc does not load properly. Although most
modules will 'call' for their dependencies, lirc does apparently does
not. My modprobe.conf has (lines 1 to 3):
alias char-major 61 lirc_i2c
alias char-major-61 lirc_dev
alias char-major-61 lirc_imon
Regarding *what* the VFD displays, I have a file /etc/lcdproc.conf which
configures that. I have "Streams = T" to get the time, etc.
