</div>To get lirc to automatically detect the display as an LCD instead of a<br>
VFD, you need to use lirc from CVS. Specifically, you need revision<br>
1.32 or later of lirc_imon.c. If you don't want to use all unreleased<br>
lirc, just drop that one file into lirc-0.8.4a. I'm actually using it<br>
with lirc-0.8.3.<br>
<br>
To get lcdproc to correctly use the graphical display, you need to<br>
apply the pactch at<br>
<a href="http://codeka.com/blogs/imon/lcdproc-0.5.2-imonlcd-0.3.patch" target="_blank">http://codeka.com/blogs/imon/lcdproc-0.5.2-imonlcd-0.3.patch</a>. Then<br>
set the driver to be "imonlcd" in LCDd.conf. You can turn the<br>
backlight off by setting "backlight=0" in the "[imonlcd]" section of<br>
LCDd.conf.<br>
<br>
Personally, I find the reverse LCD with backlight very distracting. I<br>
got this case mainly for the cooling, quietness and the built-in IR<br>
receiver. If I'd known the display worked that way, I wouldn't have<br>
gotten it. My return window is about to close and I'm still tempted<br>
to return it.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><br>Sorry for my ignorance as this is my first case with a display. What is the difference between an LCD and VFD and what are the benefits? Are they synonymous for one another?<br><br>
Are you applying that patch to LCDproc 0.4.5 for iMON (<a href="http://venky.ws/projects/imon/#standalone">http://venky.ws/projects/imon/#standalone</a>)?<br><br>"To get lirc to automatically detect the display as an LCD instead of a VFD, you need to use lirc from CVS."<br>
<br>Also, a bit of enlightening for me would help... is this compiled before Myth along with or seperate of Myth?<br><br>Thanks for the information.<br><br>AJM,<br><br>
