Make sure /dev/lcd0 exists and is readable/writeable (above).

modprobe lirc_imon

This should insert the module.  Next you need to make sure 
/etc/LCDd.conf is set-up properly (this may not even be stored in /etc/ 
on your distribution).  You need a line in there like this:

Driver=imon

Now you need to make sure LCDd can find this driver.  On my system it is 
in /usr/lib/lcdproc/imon.so and there is a line like this in my 
LCDd.conf file:

DriverPath=/usr/lib/lcdproc/

Note the trailing slash.  Re-read your LCDd.conf to make sure it is OK 
and try to start the daemon now.
