I'm not aware of any imon devices that aren't properly auto-detected
and configured for the right display type with the latest driver. But
it was only within the past year that this became the case. Anyone
with a device that *isn't* auto-configured is highly encouraged to
speak up so that the driver can be updated such that it *is*.
