<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I tried installing Pluto
(plutohome.com) on my HMC-2K53A. I was scanning internet for potential
VFD drivers (as many of you also seem to have done) and noticed the

VFD fired up and worked like a charm. </font></div>

Can you see what you have in /etc/lcdproc.conf (or where ever your
config is) and attach it? I would think that pluto would be using a
patched lcdproc instead of driving the vfd directly. I tried
plutohome.com and it was down on my end.<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I am not exactly thrilled to use
Pluto as it is very difficult to configure with lshwd and lsusb failing
due to that broken USB port. What I want is to run the 2.6.22-git16 and
a nice simple MythTV and the VFD working.</font></div>

This is what I am running, would also like to get the VFD going. I am
waiting for Dave Walker to email me the usb sniff log he has on the VFD
protocol. He was out of town at the time I asked.<br>
