I'm using an imon LCD in my Silverstone case on an old Debian Wheezy
box. Everything worked out of the box once LCDd was configured.

I have a /dev/lcd1 device and the display is using the imon module. I
use LIRC separately for a serial IR receiver.

That parameter is only valid for the imon module. lirc_imon module
only has the single "debug" parameter.

See `modinfo imon` and `modinfo lirc_imon` for details.

Could you detail the problems you experienced using the non-LIRC imon
module? Do you have any /dev/lcd* device nodes? Is LCDd.conf using the
correct one?

If the imon module is not already loaded, perhaps you could modprobe
it and see what happens (dmesg, etc).

Cheers,
