The "right location" as I call it is /etc/lirc which is where all the
stuff would be installed by default

This stuff is completely independent of MythTV ... It's only dealing
with the LCD and the IR controller

I didn't touch any of those... This is using the stock ubuntu lirc
drivers, and the basic support in lirc for this LCD.
It seems that Davids added more patches to emulate as if the LCD as turned off.
What he did is change the default text that appears when you quit the
LCDd daemon:
by default it shows something like: Thank you for using LCDd ...
from my quick read, it seems that he just made this message look
empty, which simulate the screen being completely turned off (but
that's not the case)

Just apply my patchs, it will do all that...
