Perfect, here is what I had written back when I got lirc working with
this LCD screen along with the patches I put together to get full
support:

"Hi

For those running Ubuntu (tested on Ubuntu 8.10 beta)

I've made a patch to the existing lirc modules, the advantage being
that they will be installed in the proper location, and it will be
easier to maintain in the future.
Patch is available there:
http://www.avenard.org/mythtv/lirc-0.8.3.imon.patch

How to use it:

# apt-get install lirc-modules-source
# cd /usr/src/lirc-0.8.3
# patch -p1 /path/th/lirc-0.8.3.imon.patch
# dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source

either reboot or type:
rmmod lirc_imon
rmmod lirc_dev
modprobe lirc_imon

That's it
"

Then use the startup script and the two lirc configuration file I've
put in the earlier archive I gave you yesterday

You don't need to do any of this if you follow my instructions there...

It should all be working just fine
