Did you by chance get an lcdproc update too? 0.5.3 was just released,  
and only works correctly with trunk or rather recent 0.21 svn fixes.

-- Jarod Wilson jarod at wilsonet.com Yes, that was not a typo. The updated 
kernel image had the same version as the one I was currently running. I 
thought that very odd too. I checked the notes before updating and it 
didn't mention anything about the new lcdproc. It only mentioned some 
things about NFS and CIFS changes, which I'm not using. I also don't 
think it has anything to do with lcdproc, since I can get the LCD 
display to work, just not with MythTV anymore. I am still running my 
patched version of lcdproc and lirc. I know because I had to reinstall 
them after the kernel "update". Befpre reinstalling them, the LCD 
display didn't work at all, which was expected since the kernel doesn't 
support it.
